Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b_2 < -7.0188375781974588e139

   1. Initial program 58.4

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

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 3.0

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

   if -7.0188375781974588e139 < b_2 < 2.44645656585831535e-86

   1. Initial program 12.3

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

   3. Applied div-inv 12.4

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

   if 2.44645656585831535e-86 < b_2

   1. Initial program 53.1

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

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 9.5

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

4. Final simplification 10.1

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b_2 \le -7.0188375781974588 \cdot 10^{139}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \le 2.44645656585831535 \cdot 10^{-86}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}\\ \end{array}\]
