Derivation

1. Initial program 44.0

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

2. Initial simplification44.0

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

4. Applied flip--44.0

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

5. Applied associate-/l/44.0

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

6. Simplified0.4

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

8. Applied associate-/r*0.2

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

9. Final simplification0.2

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