Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a)) < -1.4972369252588415e-16

   1. Initial program 24.1

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

   3. Applied flip-+ 24.1

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

   4. Simplified 23.3

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

   if -1.4972369252588415e-16 < (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a))

   1. Initial program 59.7

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

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 1.3

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

4. Final simplification 5.6

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a} \le -1.49723692525884149 \cdot 10^{-16}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, -\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
