Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -1.0888578864056969e151

    1. Initial program 62.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 2.6

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

    if -1.0888578864056969e151 < b < 1.8373918232904843e-47

    1. Initial program 13.1

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

    if 1.8373918232904843e-47 < b

    1. Initial program 54.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 8.1

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

    3. Simplified8.1

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

  4. Final simplification10.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -1.0888578864056969 \cdot 10^{+151}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 1.8373918232904843 \cdot 10^{-47}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-\frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
