Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b < -2.9527445303397572e153

   1. Initial program 37.6

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

   2. Simplified 37.5

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

   3. Taylor expanded in b around -inf 1.4

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\color{blue}{c \cdot 2}}{-1 \cdot b - b}\\ \end{array} \]

   if -2.9527445303397572e153 < b < 5.54504990118439818e121

   1. Initial program 8.9

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

   if 5.54504990118439818e121 < b

   1. Initial program 53.2

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

   2. Simplified 53.2

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

   3. Taylor expanded in a around 0 2.9

      \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + \color{blue}{b}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)} - b}\\ \end{array} \]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 6.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -2.9527445303397572 \cdot 10^{+153}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) - b}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 5.545049901184398 \cdot 10^{+121}:\\ \;\;\;\;\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)}}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)} - b}\\ \end{array}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \geq 0:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{b + b}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c \cdot 2}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, c \cdot -4, b \cdot b\right)} - b}\\ \end{array} \]
