Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if (/ 1.0 n) < -1.178275827426213e-16

   1. Initial program 3.0

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

   3. Applied add-cbrt-cube 3.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right) \cdot \left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)\right) \cdot \left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}}\]

   4. Simplified 3.1

      \[\leadsto \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}^{3}}}\]

   if -1.178275827426213e-16 < (/ 1.0 n) < 1.1544511919263364e-15

   1. Initial program 44.2

      \[{\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 31.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1 \cdot \frac{1}{x \cdot n} - \left(0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{2} \cdot n} + 1 \cdot \frac{\log \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x \cdot {n}^{2}}\right)}\]

   3. Simplified 31.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(1, \frac{1}{x \cdot n}, -\mathsf{fma}\left(0.5, \frac{1}{{x}^{2} \cdot n}, 1 \cdot \frac{\log \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x \cdot {n}^{2}}\right)\right)}\]

   if 1.1544511919263364e-15 < (/ 1.0 n)

   1. Initial program 8.8

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

   3. Applied flip3-- 8.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{{\left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}^{3} - {\left({x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}^{3}}{{\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \cdot {\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} + \left({x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \cdot {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} + {\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \cdot {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}}\]

   4. Simplified 8.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{{\left({\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}^{3} - {\left({x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}^{3}}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left({x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}, {\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} + {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}, {\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(2 \cdot \frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)}}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 23.3
