Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if (- b) < -1.5226383508946404e+119

    1. Initial program 50.1

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied associate-/r*50.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2}}{a}}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied div-inv50.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{a}}\]
