Derivation

  1. Initial program 28.7

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

  2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 6.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-\left(1.5 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} + \left(1.125 \cdot \frac{{c}^{2} \cdot {a}^{2}}{{b}^{3}} + \left(3.1640625 \cdot \frac{{c}^{4} \cdot {a}^{4}}{{b}^{7}} + 1.6875 \cdot \frac{{c}^{3} \cdot {a}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}\right)\right)\right)}}{3 \cdot a} \]

  3. Simplified6.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-1.5 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - \mathsf{fma}\left(1.125, \frac{\left(c \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right)}{{b}^{3}}, \mathsf{fma}\left(1.6875, \frac{{\left(c \cdot a\right)}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}, 3.1640625 \cdot \frac{{c}^{4} \cdot {a}^{4}}{{b}^{7}}\right)\right)}}{3 \cdot a} \]

  4. Taylor expanded in c around 0 6.0

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

  5. Simplified6.0

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

  6. Final simplification6.0

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}}, -1.0546875, \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{{c}^{3} \cdot \left(a \cdot a\right)}{{b}^{5}}, -0.5625, \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{a \cdot \left(c \cdot c\right)}{{b}^{3}}, -0.375, -0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\right)\right)\right) \]
