Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -2.6753706590153626e+144

    1. Initial program 57.1

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 1.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{b}{a}}\]

    3. Simplified1.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-b}{a}}\]

    if -2.6753706590153626e+144 < b < 4.940103041698796e-108

    1. Initial program 11.8

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 11.8

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

    if 4.940103041698796e-108 < b

    1. Initial program 51.8

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

    3. Applied clear-num51.8

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

    4. Taylor expanded around 0 11.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{b}{c}}}\]

    5. Simplified11.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\frac{-b}{c}}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification10.4

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -2.6753706590153626 \cdot 10^{+144}:\\ \;\;\;\;-\frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 4.940103041698796 \cdot 10^{-108}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{{b}^{2} - \left(c \cdot a\right) \cdot 4} + \left(-b\right)}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{-\frac{b}{c}}\\ \end{array}\]
