Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -2.410267969009899e-98

    1. Initial program 52.1

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 10.0

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

    3. Simplified10.0

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

    if -2.410267969009899e-98 < b < 4.8539323749735836e+132

    1. Initial program 11.9

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

    3. Applied *-un-lft-identity11.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    4. Applied associate-/l*12.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{2 \cdot a}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}}\]

    if 4.8539323749735836e+132 < b

    1. Initial program 53.0

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 2.3

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

  4. Final simplification9.9

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -2.410267969009899 \cdot 10^{-98}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-c}{b}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 4.8539323749735836 \cdot 10^{+132}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\frac{2 \cdot a}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(a \cdot c\right) \cdot 4}}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \end{array}\]
