Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -1.2447742914077108e+109

    1. Initial program 49.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 4.0

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

    3. Simplified4.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\right)}\]

    if -1.2447742914077108e+109 < b < 6.485606601696406e-71

    1. Initial program 13.5

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

    3. Applied div-inv13.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot a}}\]

    if 6.485606601696406e-71 < b

    1. Initial program 53.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 8.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification10.1
