Derivation

1. Initial program 28.7

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

2. Simplified28.7

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

4. Applied flip--28.8

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

5. Applied associate-/l/28.8

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

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*0.3

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

9. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.3

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

10. Final simplification0.3

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