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

Derivation

  1. Initial program 19.4

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

  3. Applied frac-sub19.4

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

  4. Simplified19.4

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

  6. Applied flip--19.1

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

  7. Simplified18.7

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

  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. Simplified0.3

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

  12. Final simplification0.3

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