Derivation

1. Initial program 52.6

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

3. Applied flip-+ 52.6

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

4. Simplified 0.4

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
5. Using strategy rm

6. Applied div-inv 0.4

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot a}}\]
7. Using strategy rm

8. Applied associate-*l/ 0.3

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\left(0 + 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot a}}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}\]

9. Simplified 0.2

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

10. Taylor expanded around 0 0.1

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

11. Final simplification 0.1

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