Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if b < 2.2771361016259362e+45

    1. Initial program 15.9

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