Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if b_2 < -1.55000000000000007e-108

   1. Initial program 80.7

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

   2. Taylor expanded in b_2 around -inf 17.73

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

   if -1.55000000000000007e-108 < b_2 < 3.10000000000000019e53

   1. Initial program 19.07

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

   if 3.10000000000000019e53 < b_2

   1. Initial program 60.66

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

   2. Taylor expanded in b_2 around inf 8.97

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a} + 0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}} \]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 16.62

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b_2 \leq -1.55 \cdot 10^{-108}:\\ \;\;\;\;-0.5 \cdot \frac{c}{b_2}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;b_2 \leq 3.1 \cdot 10^{+53}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-b_2\right) - \sqrt{b_2 \cdot b_2 - c \cdot a}}{a}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \frac{b_2}{a} + \frac{c}{b_2} \cdot 0.5\\ \end{array} \]
