Derivation

1. Initial program 52.6

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

2. Simplified 52.6

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

   [Start] 52.6	\[ \frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]
   *-commutative [=>] 52.6	\[ \frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{\color{blue}{a \cdot 2}} \]

3. Applied egg-rr 52.3

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

4. Taylor expanded in b around 0 0.4

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

5. Final simplification 0.4

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