Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 0.052414823847503705

    1. Initial program 22.9

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

    2. Simplified22.9

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

    4. Applied flip--_binary6422.9

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

    5. Simplified21.9

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

    6. Simplified21.9

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

    if 0.052414823847503705 < b

    1. Initial program 47.0

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

    2. Simplified47.0

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 9.6

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

  4. Final simplification11.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq 0.052414823847503705:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\left(b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right) - b \cdot b}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
