Derivation

  1. Initial program 52.4

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

  2. Simplified52.4

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

  3. Taylor expanded around inf 1.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\left(1.0546875 \cdot \frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}} + \left(0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b} + \left(0.375 \cdot \frac{a \cdot {c}^{2}}{{b}^{3}} + 0.5625 \cdot \frac{{a}^{2} \cdot {c}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}\right)\right)\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification1.5
