Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if b_2 < -1.45000000000000004e119

    1. Initial program 53.4

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a} \]
    2. Taylor expanded in b_2 around -inf 2.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a} + 0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}} \]

    if -1.45000000000000004e119 < b_2 < 1.8e-45

    1. Initial program 13.8

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a} \]

    if 1.8e-45 < b_2

    1. Initial program 53.7

      \[\frac{\left(-b_2\right) + \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - a \cdot c}}{a} \]
    2. Taylor expanded in b_2 around inf 7.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}} \]
    3. Simplified7.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c \cdot -0.5}{b_2}} \]
      Proof
