Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -4.4199075788330844e101

   1. Initial program 47.1

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

   2. Simplified 47.1

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

   3. Taylor expanded around -inf 4.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b} - 0.66666666666666663 \cdot \frac{b}{a}}\]

   if -4.4199075788330844e101 < b < 4.64009412244516654e-79

   1. Initial program 13.2

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

   2. Simplified 13.2

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

   if 4.64009412244516654e-79 < b

   1. Initial program 53.1

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

   2. Simplified 53.1

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 9.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 10.4

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -4.4199075788330844 \cdot 10^{101}:\\ \;\;\;\;0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b} - 0.66666666666666663 \cdot \frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 4.64009412244516654 \cdot 10^{-79}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
