Derivation

  1. Initial program 44.1

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

  3. Applied flip-+44.1

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

  4. Simplified0.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{0 + 3 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\]
