Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 627.9389082699839

    1. Initial program 16.6

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    2. Simplified16.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} - b}{a}}{2}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied flip3--16.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)}\right)}^{3} - {b}^{3}}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} \cdot \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} + \left(b \cdot b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} \cdot b\right)}}}{a}}{2}\]

    5. Simplified15.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right) - b \cdot \left(b \cdot b\right)}}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} \cdot \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} + \left(b \cdot b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} \cdot b\right)}}{a}}{2}\]

    6. Simplified15.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right) - b \cdot \left(b \cdot b\right)}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)}, \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right) + b \cdot b\right)}}}{a}}{2}\]

    if 627.9389082699839 < b

    1. Initial program 36.4

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    2. Simplified36.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \left(a \cdot -4\right) \cdot c\right)} - b}{a}}{2}}\]

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 16.2

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

  4. Final simplification16.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 627.9389082699839:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right) - \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot b}{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)}, b \cdot b + \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)\right)}}{a}}{2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-2 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{2}\\ \end{array}\]
