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

Derivation

  1. Initial program 19.6

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

  3. Applied flip--19.7

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

  4. Simplified19.7

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

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

  7. Applied associate-*r/19.0

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

  8. Applied associate-/l/19.0

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

  9. Taylor expanded around 0 5.3

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

  11. Applied associate-*r*0.8

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

  12. Final simplification0.8
