Derivation

  1. Initial program 43.7

    \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  2. Simplified43.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}{3 \cdot a}}\]
  3. Using strategy rm
  4. Applied flip--43.7

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} \cdot \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b \cdot b}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  5. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{-\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  6. Using strategy rm
  7. Applied distribute-frac-neg0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-\frac{\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  8. Applied distribute-frac-neg0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\frac{\frac{\left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}}{3 \cdot a}}\]
  9. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto -\color{blue}{\frac{c}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}}\]
  10. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto -\frac{c}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} + b}\]
