Derivation

  1. Initial program 52.7

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

  2. Simplified52.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, a \cdot \left(c \cdot -3\right)\right)} - b\right) \cdot \frac{0.3333333333333333}{a}} \]

  3. Taylor expanded in b around inf 1.4

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

  4. Simplified1.4

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

  5. Final simplification1.4

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