Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -9.12203968426001e+148

    1. Initial program 59.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 3.0

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

    if -9.12203968426001e+148 < b < 1.1771222675020402e-72

    1. Initial program 11.9

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 11.9

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

    if 1.1771222675020402e-72 < b

    1. Initial program 52.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 52.7

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 9.4

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

    4. Simplified9.4

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

  4. Final simplification9.9

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -9.12203968426001 \cdot 10^{+148}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 1.1771222675020402 \cdot 10^{-72}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{{b}^{2} - \left(c \cdot a\right) \cdot 4} + \left(-b\right)}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-\frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
