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

Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (-.f64 (/.f64 1 (sqrt.f64 x)) (/.f64 1 (sqrt.f64 (+.f64 x 1)))) < 1.0000000000000001e-15

   1. Initial program 40.0

      \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 1}} \]

   2. Applied egg-rr 39.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{\left({\left({x}^{-0.5} - {\left(1 + x\right)}^{-0.5}\right)}^{3}\right)}^{0.3333333333333333}} \]

   3. Taylor expanded in x around inf 20.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{{x}^{3}}}} \]

   4. Applied egg-rr 40.3

      \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\left(1 + {x}^{-1.5}\right) - 1\right)} \]

   5. Applied egg-rr 0.2

   if 1.0000000000000001e-15 < (-.f64 (/.f64 1 (sqrt.f64 x)) (/.f64 1 (sqrt.f64 (+.f64 x 1))))

   1. Initial program 0.7

      \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 1}} \]
