Derivation

  1. Split input into 4 regimes
  2. if b_2 < -9.1374296392532663e94

    1. Initial program 59.6

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 2.7

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

    if -9.1374296392532663e94 < b_2 < -2.97789495321934738e-139

    1. Initial program 39.0

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied flip--39.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(-b_2\right) \cdot \left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c} \cdot \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}}{a}\]
    4. Simplified15.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{0 + a \cdot c}}{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}}{a}\]
    5. Simplified15.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{0 + a \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c} - b_2}}}{a}\]

    if -2.97789495321934738e-139 < b_2 < 1.332818306264271e120

    1. Initial program 11.3

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied div-sub11.3

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

    if 1.332818306264271e120 < b_2

    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 3.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}}\]
  3. Recombined 4 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification9.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b_2 \le -9.1374296392532663 \cdot 10^{94}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \le -2.97789495321934738 \cdot 10^{-139}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{0 + a \cdot c}{\sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c} - b_2}}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \le 1.332818306264271 \cdot 10^{120}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-b_2}{a} - \frac{\sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b_2} - 2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a}\\ \end{array}\]
