Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if b < 8.056053177595312e-07

   1. Initial program 14.8

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

   2. Simplified14.8

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

   4. Applied flip--14.8

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

   if 8.056053177595312e-07 < b

   1. Initial program 45.6

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

   2. Simplified45.6

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 10.7

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

4. Final simplification10.8

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 8.056053177595312 \cdot 10^{-07}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} - b \cdot b}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
