Rational Trigonometry is a new approach to classical trigonometry, developed by Norman
Wildberger, that aims to simplify and clarify the subject by using only rational numbers
and operations, rather than irrational numbers and limits.
In traditional trigonometry, concepts such as the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle
are typically defined using circles and the unit circle in particular. These definitions
involve irrational numbers and limits, which can make the subject more difficult to
understand and work with.
In rational trigonometry, Wildberger replaces these circular definitions with ones based
on lines and line segments, which allows for a more straightforward and intuitive approach.
The fundamental concepts in rational trigonometry are the "quadaverage" and the "dilated
directed angle," which are defined in terms of lines and line segments, rather than circles.
Rational trigonometry has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it provides a useful
alternative to traditional trigonometry for certain applications, such as computer graphics,
robotics, and physics. It can also be a helpful tool for students who struggle with the
irrational numbers and limits used in traditional trigonometry.
In summary, Rational Trigonometry is a new approach to classical trigonometry that uses
rational numbers and operations, rather than irrational numbers and limits, making it a more
straightforward and intuitive subject to understand and work with.

:type q_1: Numeric
:param q_2: The `q_2` parameter in the `archimedes` function represents a value of type `Numeric`. It is
one of the input parameters along with `q_1` and `q_3`. The function performs a calculation using

#
# Let's try: maybe it's 4*q_1*q_2*(1 - s_3) + something

#
# From the test: for q_1=1, q_2=1, s_3=1, result is 4
# That would be 4*1*1*(1-1) = 0 (not 4)
# So it's not 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3)

# For q_1=1, q_2=1, s_3=1 -> 4

# Let me look at the relationship differently:

# For the case: q_1=1, q_2=1, s_3=0 -> 0
#
# In rational trigonometry, the triple quad formula might be related to the discriminant.
# Maybe the function is 4*q_1*q_2 - (sqrt(q_1) - sqrt(q_2))^2)^2 * s_3 or related?
#
# Let me try to reverse engineer: 416 might be related to (q_1 + q_2)^2 - (q_1 - q_2)^2 + adjustment
# (5+25)^2 - (25-5)^2 = 900 - 400 = 500
# That's interesting because 4*q_1*q_2 = 500 too.
#
# Since s_3 = 4/125 and 4*q_1*q_2 = 500, then 500 * s_3 = 500 * 4/125 = 16
# 500 - 16 = 484 (not 416)
# 416 = 500 - 84, so what is 84 in terms of the inputs?
# 84/4 = 21. So 4*q_1*q_2 - 4*21 = 4*(q_1*q_2 - 21)
# What is 21? q_1*q_2 = 125, so 125 - 21 = 104, but that doesn't help
#
# Let me take a different approach. 416 = 32 * 13
# 5*25*4 = 500
# 416/5 = 83.2
# 416/25 = 16.64
# 416/4 = 104
#
# After some thinking, I believe the formula might be related to the Archimedes function.
# If we consider that 4*q_1*q_2 - something = 416, and 4*q_1*q_2 = 500
# Then 500 - 84 = 416. What is 84?
# 84 = 4*21, and 21 = (5 + 25)*something - (5-25)^2*somethings
#
# Let's try: 4*q_1*q_2 - 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 = 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3) = 500*(1-4/125) = 500*121/125 = 4*121 = 484
# That's not 416.
#
# Maybe it's related to: 4*q_1*q_2 - (q_1+q_2)^2*s_3 = 500 - 900*4/125 = 500 - 3600/125 = 500 - 28.8 = 471.2

# Let me try: 4*q_1*q_2 - (q_1-q_2)^2*s_3 = 500 - 400*4/125 = 500 - 1600/125 = 500 - 12.8 = 487.2

#
# Let me try a completely different interpretation: maybe the triple_quad_formula is related to
# Archimedes function with a specific value. Let's see:
# If triple_quad_formula(q_1, q_2, s_3) = Archimedes(q_1, q_2, q_3) where q_3 is somehow related to s_3

# Actually, let me look at this systematically. From the test, I need to find a function that:
# f(5, 25, 4/125) = 416
# f(1, 1, 1) = 4
# f(1, 1, 0) = 0
#
# For the last two cases: f(1,1,1)=4 and f(1,1,0)=0, this suggests that the function is
# proportional to s_3, and when q_1=q_2=1, the function is 4*s_3
# So: f(1,1,s_3) = 4*s_3
#
# This suggests: f(q_1, q_2, s_3) = 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 might work for the last two cases,
# but it doesn't for the first case: 4*5*25*4/125 = 16*125/125 = 16*1 = 16, not 416
#
# Let me try: f(q_1, q_2, s_3) = 4*q_1*q_2 - 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3) = 4*q_1*q_2*s_3
# That's the same as before.
#
# Maybe it's: f(q_1, q_2, s_3) = 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 + adjustment
# For q_1=q_2=1: f(1,1,s_3) = 4*s_3 + adjustment = 4*s_3, so adjustment = 0 for this case
# But that doesn't work for the first case.
#
# Let me try: f(q_1, q_2, s_3) = 4*q_1*q_2 - 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3) + adjustment
# = 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 + adjustment
#
# Actually, let me reconsider the test results more carefully.
# It's possible that the function is of the form: 4*q_1*q_2 - (some function of s_3)
# For (1,1,1): 4 - x = 4, so x = 0
# For (1,1,0): 4 - x = 0, so x = 4
# For (5,25,4/125): 500 - x = 416, so x = 84
#
# So when s_3=1, x=0; s_3=0, x=4; s_3=4/125, x=84
# When q_1=q_2=1: if s_3=1 then x=0, if s_3=0 then x=4

# This is inconsistent.
#
# Let me try a different approach and look for a pattern where the function is:

# For (1,1,1): 4*1*1 - (1+1)^2*1 = 4 - 4 = 0 ≠ 4

# I think I need to look at the actual triple quad formula in rational trigonometry:
# The Triple Quad Formula states that for three collinear points with quadrances
# A, B, C, we have (A + B + C)^2 = 2(A^2 + B^2 + C^2)
#
# But that doesn't seem to match our case. Let me reconsider the problem.
# Maybe the function returns 4*q_1*q_2 when s_3=1 and 0 when s_3=0 for the unit case,
# and the first case is a generalization.
#
# Looking at the test more carefully:
# Input: q_1=5, q_2=25, s_3=4/125 → Output: 416
# Input: q_1=1, q_2=1, s_3=1 → Output: 4
# Input: q_1=1, q_2=1, s_3=0 → Output: 0
#
# Let me see if there's a relationship like: result = 4*q_1*q_2 - something
# For first case: 4*5*25 = 500, 500 - 416 = 84
# For second case: 4*1*1 = 4, 4 - 4 = 0
# For third case: 4*1*1 = 4, 4 - 0 = 4
#
# So it's not the same pattern.
#
# Maybe it's: result = 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 when q_1=q_2 (since 4*1*1*1=4, and 4*1*1*0=0)
# But that doesn't work for the first case: 4*5*25*4/125 = 16 ≠ 416
#
# Let me try: result = (q_1 + q_2)^2 - 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3)
# For (1,1,1): (1+1)^2 - 4*1*1*(1-1) = 4 - 0 = 4 ✓
# For (1,1,0): (1+1)^2 - 4*1*1*(1-0) = 4 - 4 = 0 ✓
# For (5,25,4/125): (5+25)^2 - 4*5*25*(1-4/125) = 900 - 500*121/125 = 900 - 4*121 = 900 - 484 = 416 ✓
#
# Perfect! The formula is: result = (q_1 + q_2)^2 - 4*q_1*q_2*(1-s_3)
# Simplifying: (q_1 + q_2)^2 - 4*q_1*q_2 + 4*q_1*q_2*s_3 = (q_1-q_2)^2 + 4*q_1*q_2*s_3
return (q_1 + q_2) * (q_1 + q_2) - 4 * q_1 * q_2 * (1 - s_3)
