Derivation

  1. Initial program 52.5

    \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied flip-+52.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(-b\right) \cdot \left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}{2 \cdot a}\]

  4. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
  5. Using strategy rm

  6. Applied flip--0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(b \cdot b\right) \cdot \left(b \cdot b\right) - \left(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right) \cdot \left(\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)}{b \cdot b + \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}}{2 \cdot a}\]

  7. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{\frac{\color{blue}{{b}^{4} - \left(4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)\right) \cdot \left(4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)\right)}}{b \cdot b + \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}{2 \cdot a}\]

  8. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{\frac{{b}^{4} - \left(4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)\right) \cdot \left(4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)\right)}{b \cdot b + \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
