Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -1.522272609891281e+91

    1. Initial program 42.7

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

    2. Initial simplification42.7

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

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 4.1

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

    if -1.522272609891281e+91 < b < 2.9396032746133623e-65

    1. Initial program 13.3

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

    2. Initial simplification13.3

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 13.3

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

    if 2.9396032746133623e-65 < b

    1. Initial program 52.6

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

    2. Initial simplification52.6

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 8.4
