Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -7.598264454585938e+152

    1. Initial program 60.2

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

    2. Simplified60.2

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

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 60.2

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

    4. Taylor expanded around -inf 2.2

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

    if -7.598264454585938e+152 < b < 2.75182274115718e-17

    1. Initial program 14.6

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

    2. Simplified14.6

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

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 14.6

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

    if 2.75182274115718e-17 < b

    1. Initial program 54.9

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

    2. Simplified54.9

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 5.8
