Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b_2 < -1.0820642039797266e-17

    1. Initial program 55.0

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 6.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}}\]

    if -1.0820642039797266e-17 < b_2 < 1.4443031837246074

    1. Initial program 16.2

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-inv16.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{a}}\]

    if 1.4443031837246074 < b_2

    1. Initial program 32.2

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 7.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
