Derivation

  1. Initial program 20.0

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

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