Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -5.1999999999999995e33

    1. Initial program 36.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded in b around -inf 6.1

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

    if -5.1999999999999995e33 < b < 8.49999999999999958e-144

    1. Initial program 13.3

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

    if 8.49999999999999958e-144 < b

    1. Initial program 49.8

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

    2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 12.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{c}{b}} \]

    3. Simplified12.9

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

  4. Final simplification11.6

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \leq -5.2 \cdot 10^{+33}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b \leq 8.5 \cdot 10^{-144}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - c \cdot \left(a \cdot 4\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-c}{b}\\ \end{array} \]
