Bits error versus a

Bits error versus b

Bits error versus c

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a)) < -3.637394867991163e-07

    1. Initial program 18.8

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

    3. Applied flip-+18.8

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

    4. Simplified18.0

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

    if -3.637394867991163e-07 < (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a))

    1. Initial program 43.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 10.5

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

  4. Final simplification15.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a} \le -3.6373948679911628 \cdot 10^{-7}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, -\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
