Derivation

  1. Initial program 28.6

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

  3. Applied flip-+28.6

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

  4. Simplified0.6

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

  6. Applied associate-/r*0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\frac{\left({b}^{2} - {b}^{2}\right) + 3 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3}}{a}}\]

  7. Simplified0.5

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

  8. Final simplification0.5

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