Derivation

1. Initial program 58.0%

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

4. Applied rewrites 34.8%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{0.5}{\frac{1}{b + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(a, -4 \cdot c, b \cdot b\right)}} \cdot a}} \]

5. Taylor expanded in b around inf

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{b}{a}} \]
6. Step-by-step derivation

   1. lower-/.f64 2.2

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

7. Applied rewrites 2.2%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{b}{a}} \]
8. Add Preprocessing
