Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a)) < -4.459043472892718e-08

    1. Initial program 22.2

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

    3. Applied flip-+22.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(-b\right) \cdot \left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}{3 \cdot a}\]

    4. Simplified21.4

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

    if -4.459043472892718e-08 < (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a))

    1. Initial program 54.1

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 4.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification10.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a} \le -4.45904347289271832 \cdot 10^{-8}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, -\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
