Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if b < 1.04628164907388e+86

    1. Initial program 15.4

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]
    2. Initial simplification15.3

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}\\ \end{array}\]
    3. Using strategy rm
    4. Applied add-sqr-sqrt15.3

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{\color{blue}{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} \cdot \sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}\\ \end{array}\]
    5. Applied sqrt-prod15.4

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \color{blue}{\sqrt{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}} \cdot \sqrt{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(-c\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}\\ \end{array}\]
