Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -7.364239210427101e+148

   1. Initial program 58.7

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 2.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{b}{a}}\]

   if -7.364239210427101e+148 < b < 1.695108865697676e-145

   1. Initial program 11.2

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

   3. Applied associate-/r*11.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3}}{a}}\]

   if 1.695108865697676e-145 < b

   1. Initial program 49.2

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 12.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification11.0

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -7.364239210427101 \cdot 10^{+148}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a} \cdot \frac{2}{3}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 1.695108865697676 \cdot 10^{-145}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 3\right)}}{3}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
