Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 1.098160893566638e+74

    1. Initial program 16.1

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]

    2. Simplified16.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied add-sqr-sqrt16.2

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b} \cdot \sqrt{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]

    if 1.098160893566638e+74 < b

    1. Initial program 28.1

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}}\]

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 7.6

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{blue}{2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - 2 \cdot b}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]

    4. Simplified3.3

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\left(\frac{c}{b} \cdot a - b\right) \cdot 2}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{(-4 \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right) + \left(b \cdot b\right))_*} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
