Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -3.996635431194612e121

    1. Initial program 52.9

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    2. Taylor expanded in b around -inf 3.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}} \]

    if -3.996635431194612e121 < b < 2.7919095286000728e-58

    1. Initial program 13.4

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    2. Applied egg-rr13.4

      \[\leadsto \frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{\color{blue}{\left|b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right|}}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    if 2.7919095286000728e-58 < b

    1. Initial program 54.0

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 8.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}} \]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification10.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -3.996635431194612 \cdot 10^{+121}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 2.7919095286000728 \cdot 10^{-58}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{\left|b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right|}}{2 \cdot a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}\\ \end{array} \]
