1. Initial program 19.9

   \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 1}}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied frac-sub19.9

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1 \cdot \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \cdot 1}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}}\]

4. Simplified19.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}\]
5. Using strategy rm

6. Applied flip--19.7

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{x + 1} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}}}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}\]

7. Applied associate-/l/19.7

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{x + 1} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x}}{\left(\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}\right)}}\]

8. Simplified0.8

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{\left(\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}\right)}\]
9. Using strategy rm

10. Applied associate-/r*0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}}\]
11. Using strategy rm

12. Applied +-commutative0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x + 1}}}\]

13. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 1} \cdot \sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x + 1}}\]
