Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -2.59328108977315231e153

   1. Initial program 63.9

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

   2. Simplified 63.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \color{blue}{\mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;c \cdot \frac{-2}{b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)} - b\right) \cdot \frac{0.5}{a}\\ } \end{array}} \]

   3. Taylor expanded in b around -inf 2.2

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

   4. Simplified 2.2

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

   if -2.59328108977315231e153 < b < 1.3243813634661216e116

   1. Initial program 8.7

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

   if 1.3243813634661216e116 < b

   1. Initial program 33.0

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

   2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 2.6

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

4. Final simplification 6.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -2.5932810897731523 \cdot 10^{+153}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;c \cdot \frac{-2}{b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-b}{a}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 1.3243813634661216 \cdot 10^{+116}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) - b}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \end{array} \]
