  1. Initial program 52.3

    \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  2. Simplified52.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}{3}}{a}}\]
  3. Taylor expanded around inf 6.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
  4. Final simplification6.4

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\]
