Derivation

  1. Initial program 28.3

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

  3. Applied flip-+28.3

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

  4. Applied associate-/l/28.3

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

  5. Simplified0.5

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

  7. Applied associate-/r*0.3

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

  8. Simplified0.3

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

  9. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.3

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

  11. Applied associate-/l*0.4

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

  12. Final simplification0.4

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