Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 8.07526538057136e-89

    1. Initial program 21.5

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

    2. Initial simplification21.5

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

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 21.5

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

    4. Simplified21.5

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

    2. Initial simplification52.2

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

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 52.2

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

    4. Simplified52.2

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