Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (/.f64 (+.f64 (neg.f64 b) (sqrt.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b b) (*.f64 (*.f64 3 a) c)))) (*.f64 3 a)) < -1.36706893474421538e-25

   1. Initial program 24.2

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

   2. Simplified 24.2

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

   4. Applied flip--_binary64_1076 24.2

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

   5. Simplified 23.2

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

   6. Simplified 23.2

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

   if -1.36706893474421538e-25 < (/.f64 (+.f64 (neg.f64 b) (sqrt.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b b) (*.f64 (*.f64 3 a) c)))) (*.f64 3 a))

   1. Initial program 61.4

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

   2. Simplified 61.4

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

   3. Taylor expanded around inf 0.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 5.6

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}{3 \cdot a} \leq -1.3670689347442154 \cdot 10^{-25}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\left(b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right) - b \cdot b}{b + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{3 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array}\]
