Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if b < 3.0960430706328035e-49

    1. Initial program 21.2

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    2. Initial simplification21.2

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