(/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (* (* 4 a) c))) (* 2 a))

Average Error: 10.9 → 10.9

Time: 1.6s

Precision: binary64

Math

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

↓

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

Error

Bits error versus b

Bits error versus a

Bits error versus c

Derivation

1. Initial program 10.9

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

2. Final simplification 10.9

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