Homework Statement


My notes are missing a step. How do I get [tex]\frac{{x^{n + 1} }}{{\sqrt {n + 1} }}\frac{{\sqrt n }}{{x^n }} = \frac{{x\sqrt n }}{{\sqrt {n + 1} }}[/tex]


Homework Equations


I'm trying like this, but I don't seem to be arriving at the same step as the example:
[tex]\frac{{x^{n + 1} }}{{\sqrt {n + 1} }}\frac{{\sqrt n }}{{x^n }} = \frac{{x^{n + 1} }}{{\sqrt {n\left( {1 + \frac{1}{n}} \right)} }}\frac{{\sqrt n }}{{x^n }} = \frac{{x^{n + 1} }}{{\sqrt n \sqrt {\left( {1 + \frac{1}{n}} \right)} }}\frac{{\sqrt n }}{{x^n }} = \frac{{x^{n + 1} }}{{\sqrt {\left( {1 + \frac{1}{n}} \right)} }}\frac{1}{{x^n }}[/tex]

Thanks!
