Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -1.340469429316158e154

   1. Initial program 64.0

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

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 11.7

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

   if -1.340469429316158e154 < b < 4.60122751234029839e114

   1. Initial program 8.5

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

   if 4.60122751234029839e114 < b

   1. Initial program 31.9

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

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 7.0

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \color{blue}{\left(b - 2 \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b}\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 8.5

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -1.340469429316158 \cdot 10^{+154}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - b\right) - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 4.6012275123402984 \cdot 10^{+114}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - b\right) - b}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]
