Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if b < 0.0089239169343946975

    1. Initial program 21.8

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

    2. Simplified21.8

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

    4. Applied flip--_binary6421.7

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

    5. Simplified20.7

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

    6. Simplified20.7

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

    if 0.0089239169343946975 < b

    1. Initial program 46.8

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

    2. Simplified46.8

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

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 10.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-1.5 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied *-un-lft-identity_binary6410.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{-1.5 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]

    6. Applied times-frac_binary6410.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{-1.5 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\frac{a}{1} \cdot \frac{c}{b}\right)}}{3 \cdot a}\]

    7. Applied associate-*r*_binary649.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(-1.5 \cdot \frac{a}{1}\right) \cdot \frac{c}{b}}}{3 \cdot a}\]

    8. Simplified9.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(-1.5 \cdot a\right)} \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{3 \cdot a}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification11.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq 0.008923916934394698:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right) - b \cdot b}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(a \cdot -1.5\right) \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]
