(/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* (* 2 a) c)))) (* 2 a))

Average Error: 34.7 → 34.7

Time: 2.0s

Precision: binary64

Math

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

↓

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

Error

Bits error versus b

Bits error versus a

Bits error versus c

Derivation

1. Initial program 34.7

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

2. Final simplification 34.7

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