Derivation

  1. Initial program 29.5

    \[\sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \]
  2. Applied flip--_binary6429.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{x + 1} \cdot \sqrt{x + 1} - \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}}} \]
  3. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1}}{\sqrt{x + 1} + \sqrt{x}} \]
  4. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{1 + x} + \sqrt{x}}} \]
  5. Applied add-sqr-sqrt_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \color{blue}{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x}}} + \sqrt{x}} \]
  6. Applied hypot-1-def_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(1, \sqrt{x}\right)} + \sqrt{x}} \]
  7. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sqrt{x} + \mathsf{hypot}\left(1, \sqrt{x}\right)} \]
