Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if b < -1.183067257131974e118

    1. Initial program 31.6

      \[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\\ \end{array}\]
    2. Simplified31.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}\\ \end{array}}\]
    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 6.9

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\color{blue}{\frac{c \cdot 2}{2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b} - 2 \cdot b}}\\ \end{array}\]
