Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -1.01384800159969898e70

   1. Initial program 41.2

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

   2. Simplified 41.2

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

   3. Taylor expanded around -inf 5.0

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

   4. Simplified 5.0

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

   if -1.01384800159969898e70 < b < 9.8276187263360236e-79

   1. Initial program 13.6

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

   2. Simplified 13.6

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

   4. Applied *-un-lft-identity 13.6

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

   5. Applied div-inv 13.6

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

   6. Applied times-frac 13.7

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

   7. Simplified 13.7

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

   if 9.8276187263360236e-79 < b

   1. Initial program 53.1

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

   2. Simplified 53.1

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 9.4

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

4. Final simplification 10.4

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -1.01384800159969898 \cdot 10^{70}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 \cdot \left(\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \le 9.8276187263360236 \cdot 10^{-79}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)} - b\right) \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
