Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -2.08016795879467846e111

    1. Initial program 49.5

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

    2. Simplified49.5

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

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 3.4

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

    4. Simplified3.4

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

    if -2.08016795879467846e111 < b < 1.48209939622880122e-59 or 4.162966466628992e-26 < b < 477515.781079878157

    1. Initial program 14.6

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

    2. Simplified14.6

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

    if 1.48209939622880122e-59 < b < 4.162966466628992e-26 or 477515.781079878157 < b

    1. Initial program 54.5

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

    2. Simplified54.5

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 7.0

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