Derivation

  1. Initial program 52.1

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

  2. Simplified52.1

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

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 6.5

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

  4. Final simplification6.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{c}{b} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}\]
