Derivation

  1. Initial program 52.4

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

  2. Simplified52.4

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

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 1.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\left(5 \cdot \frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}} + \left(\frac{c}{b} + \left(\frac{a \cdot {c}^{2}}{{b}^{3}} + 2 \cdot \frac{{a}^{2} \cdot {c}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}\right)\right)\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification1.5

    \[\leadsto -\left(5 \cdot \frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}} + \left(\frac{c}{b} + \left(\frac{a \cdot {c}^{2}}{{b}^{3}} + 2 \cdot \frac{{a}^{2} \cdot {c}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}\right)\right)\right)\]
