Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if b < 1.9639198265054672e-73

   1. Initial program 21.1

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

   2. Simplified21.1

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

   if 1.9639198265054672e-73 < b

   1. Initial program 52.9

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

   2. Simplified52.9

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

   4. Applied *-un-lft-identity52.9

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

   5. Applied associate-/l*52.9

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

   6. Taylor expanded around 0 9.0

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

   7. Simplified9.0

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

4. Final simplification16.4

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 1.9639198265054672 \cdot 10^{-73}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{(\left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\frac{-b}{c}}\\ \end{array}\]
