Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -7.712829606029901e+111

   1. Initial program 32.0

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 6.9

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\left(-b\right) + \left(2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - b\right)}}\\ \end{array}\]

   if -7.712829606029901e+111 < b < 2.829212443283286e+65

   1. Initial program 8.8

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt 9.0

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\color{blue}{\frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} \cdot \sqrt{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}\\ \end{array}\]

   if 2.829212443283286e+65 < b

   1. Initial program 40.5

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 11.0

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\color{blue}{2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - 2 \cdot b}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 8.9

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -7.7128296060299008 \cdot 10^{111}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \left(2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - b\right)}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 2.8292124432832862 \cdot 10^{65}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} \cdot \sqrt{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \ge 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - 2 \cdot b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]
