Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -3.97760357881056687e149

    1. Initial program 62.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded in b around -inf 2.0

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

    if -3.97760357881056687e149 < b < 1.1469712821991186e92

    1. Initial program 9.0

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

    if 1.1469712821991186e92 < b

    1. Initial program 29.6

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

    2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 2.8

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

  4. Final simplification6.7

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -3.977603578810567 \cdot 10^{+149}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 1.1469712821991186 \cdot 10^{+92}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) - b}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)} - b}{2 \cdot a}\\ \end{array} \]
