Derivation

  1. Initial program 31.4

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

  3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt31.4

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

  4. Applied difference-of-squares31.4

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

  5. Applied sqrt-prod0.1

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

  6. Final simplification0.1

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