code[a_, b_, c_] := N[(N[(-0.5 / b), $MachinePrecision] * c), $MachinePrecision]

Derivation

1. Initial program 17.3%

   \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(3 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{3 \cdot a} \]
2. Add Preprocessing

3. Taylor expanded in c around 0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{c}{b}} \]
4. Step-by-step derivation

   1. *-commutative N/A

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}} \]

   2. lower-*.f64 N/A

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}} \]

   3. lower-/.f64 91.1

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

5. Applied rewrites 91.1%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b} \cdot -0.5} \]
6. Step-by-step derivation

7. Applied rewrites 90.7%

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

8. Final simplification 90.7%

   \[\leadsto \frac{-0.5}{b} \cdot c \]
9. Add Preprocessing
