Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 0.0002651647757010758

    1. Initial program 19.8

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

    2. Simplified19.8

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

    4. Applied flip3--19.9

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