Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.6

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

  3. Applied p16-flip--0.7

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

  5. Applied difference-of-squares0.6

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

  6. Final simplification0.6

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