Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.5

    \[\sqrt{x - 1} \cdot \sqrt{x}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x - \left(0.125 \cdot \frac{1}{x} + 0.5\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x - \left(0.5 + \frac{0.125}{x}\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto x - \left(0.5 + \frac{0.125}{x}\right)\]
