Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -1.33563060527140738e154

   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. Simplified 64.0

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 52.2

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \frac{c}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{1}{b} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\]

   if -1.33563060527140738e154 < b < 1.1679103768749938e94

   1. Initial program 8.6

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

   if 1.1679103768749938e94 < b

   1. Initial program 28.9

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

   2. Simplified 29.0

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

   3. Taylor expanded around 0 2.4

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

4. Final simplification 11.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -1.3356306052714074 \cdot 10^{+154}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \frac{c}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{1}{b} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 1.1679103768749938 \cdot 10^{+94}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \frac{c}{b + b}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \end{array}\]
