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

Average Error: 34.2 → 34.2

Time: 1.7s

Precision: binary64

Math

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

↓

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

Error

Bits error versus b

Bits error versus a

Bits error versus c

Derivation

1. Initial program 34.2

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

2. Final simplification 34.2

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