Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 2892.1913455639924

    1. Initial program 18.5

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

    2. Simplified18.4

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

    4. Applied flip3--18.5

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

    5. Simplified17.8

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

    6. Simplified17.8

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

    if 2892.1913455639924 < b

    1. Initial program 36.9

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

    2. Simplified36.9

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 15.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{-2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}}{a}}{2}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied *-un-lft-identity15.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{-2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot a}}}{2}\]

    6. Applied associate-/r*15.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\frac{-2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}{1}}{a}}}{2}\]

    7. Simplified15.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\frac{-2}{\frac{b}{a}} \cdot c}}{a}}{2}\]

    8. Taylor expanded around 0 15.7

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

  4. Final simplification16.7

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le 2892.1913455639924:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right) - \left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot b}{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)}, b \cdot b + \mathsf{fma}\left(a \cdot c, -4, b \cdot b\right)\right)}}{a}}{2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-2 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{2}\\ \end{array}\]
