Derivation

1. Initial program 28.6

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

3. Applied flip-+28.6

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

4. Applied associate-/l/28.6

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

5. Simplified0.6

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

7. Applied associate-/r*0.5

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

9. Applied associate-*r*0.5

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

10. Final simplification0.5

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