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

Derivation

  1. Initial program 20.4

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

  3. Applied frac-sub20.4

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

  4. Simplified20.4

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

  6. Applied flip--20.2

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

  7. Simplified19.7

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

  8. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{1 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1}}\]
  9. Using strategy rm

  10. Applied associate-/r*0.4

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

  11. Final simplification0.4

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