Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.8

    \[\left(\sqrt{\left(\frac{x}{\left(1\right)}\right)}\right) - \left(\sqrt{x}\right)\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied p16-flip--0.6

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

  4. Simplified0.2

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

  5. Final simplification0.2

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