Derivation

1. Split input into 4 regimes

2. if b_2 < -1.019221836402376e116

   1. Initial program 52.3

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 3.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}}\]

   if -1.019221836402376e116 < b_2 < -4.43721133694615227e-284

   1. Initial program 9.3

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

   if -4.43721133694615227e-284 < b_2 < 4.65707585749620459e78

   1. Initial program 30.8

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied flip-+ 30.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(-b_2\right) \cdot \left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c} \cdot \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}}{a}\]

   4. Simplified 18.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{0 + a \cdot c}}{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}{a}\]
   5. Using strategy rm

   6. Applied *-un-lft-identity 18.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{0 + a \cdot c}{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot a}}\]

   7. Applied associate-/r* 18.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\frac{0 + a \cdot c}{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}{1}}{a}}\]

   8. Simplified 15.3

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{a}{\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{c}}}}{a}\]

   1. Initial program 59.0

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 2.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}}\]
3. Recombined 4 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 8.2

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b_2 \le -1.019221836402376 \cdot 10^{116}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \le -4.43721133694615227 \cdot 10^{-284}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \le 4.65707585749620459 \cdot 10^{78}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{a}{\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{c}}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}\\ \end{array}\]
