Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a)) < -7.450769624168152e-07

   1. Initial program 17.9

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

   3. Applied flip-+ 18.0

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

   4. Simplified 17.2

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

   if -7.450769624168152e-07 < (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 3.0 a) c)))) (* 3.0 a))

   1. Initial program 42.7

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

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 11.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-1.5 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]
   3. Using strategy rm

   4. Applied associate-/r* 11.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{-1.5 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}{3}}{a}}\]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 14.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a} \le -7.45076962416815215 \cdot 10^{-7}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, -\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{-1.5 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}{3}}{a}\\ \end{array}\]
