Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 2.6220942974526774e+104

    1. Initial program 14.9

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]

    2. Simplified14.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(c, a \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(c, a \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)} - b}{2}}\\ \end{array}}\]
    3. Using strategy rm
