Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 789.7712370678435

    1. Initial program 16.9

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

    2. Simplified16.9

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

    4. Applied flip3--17.0

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

    5. Applied associate-/l/17.0

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

    6. Simplified16.3

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

    if 789.7712370678435 < b

    1. Initial program 36.5

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

    2. Simplified36.5

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 16.1

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

  4. Final simplification16.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 789.7712370678435:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)\right) \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} - \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot b}{\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(b \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} + b \cdot b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(3 \cdot a\right)}\right)}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
