1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if b < 99.47271995965501 or 444.75320920725306 < b < 2288.8781175292015

   1. Initial program 17.6

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

   2. Simplified17.6

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

   4. Applied flip3--17.6

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

   5. Applied associate-/l/17.6

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

   1. Initial program 35.9

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

   2. Simplified35.9

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 16.5

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

4. Final simplification16.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 99.47271995965501:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} - \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot b}{\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(b \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} + b \cdot b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)}\right)}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 444.75320920725306:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 2288.8781175292015:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} - \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot b}{\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(b \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} + b \cdot b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)}\right)}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}\\ \end{array}\]
