SUMMARY

The discussion centers on simplifying mathematical expressions, specifically the equation involving variables x and y. Participants reference the tool WolframAlpha for generating simplified forms of the expression. The final simplified form presented is $$1+\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^2+1}$$, which reduces the complexity by introducing a single variable expression, z. The conversation highlights the importance of proper notation, such as parentheses, in mathematical expressions.

I am sorry but i am not a mathematician
Could this be simplified ?

... or even one more step:
$$
\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{y}+1=1+\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^2+1}
$$
which gives a nice form with only one variable expression ##z:=\dfrac{x}{y}##.
