```python
define('quadratic == over [[[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt [+] [-] cleave] dip 2 * [truediv] cons app2 roll< pop')

```python

```

### Simplify
We can define a `pm` plus-or-minus function:
```python
define('pm == [+] [-] cleave popdd')
```
Then `quadratic` becomes:
```python
define('quadratic == over [[[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt pm] dip 2 * [truediv] cons app2')
```
```python
J('3 1 1 quadratic')
```
-0.3819660112501051 -2.618033988749895
### Define a "native" `pm` function.
The definition of `pm` above is pretty elegant, but the implementation takes a lot of steps relative to what it's accomplishing. Since we are likely to use `pm` more than once in the future, let's write a primitive in Python and add it to the dictionary.
```python
from joy.library import SimpleFunctionWrapper
from notebook_preamble import D
@SimpleFunctionWrapper
def pm(stack):
a, (b, stack) = stack
p, m, = b + a, b - a
return m, (p, stack)
D['pm'] = pm
```
The resulting trace is short enough to fit on a page.
```python
V('3 1 1 quadratic')
```
