Derivation

1. Initial program 28.3

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

3. Applied flip-+28.3

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

4. Applied associate-/l/28.3

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

5. Simplified0.6

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

7. Applied associate-*r*0.6

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

8. Final simplification0.6

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