Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -2.227559942910082e+74

    1. Initial program 39.7

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

    3. Applied associate-/r*39.7

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

    4. Taylor expanded around -inf 9.4

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - 2 \cdot b}}{3}}{a}\]

    5. Simplified4.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{(\frac{3}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}\right) + \left(-2 \cdot b\right))_*}}{3}}{a}\]

    if -2.227559942910082e+74 < b < 1.1130390635885432e-84

    1. Initial program 12.7

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