Am I missing something here? This does not resolve to True.

Clear[x,y]

$Assumptions={x>0,y>0}

FullSimplify[(Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[y]) == Sqrt[x + y + 2 Sqrt[x y]]]

  • $\begingroup$ I think this is limitation in Simplify because Reduce[(Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[y]) - Sqrt[x + y + 2 Sqrt[x y]] == 0, Reals] gives y >= 0 && x >= 0, therefore Simplify with this assumption should give True but it does not. $\endgroup$

Resolve[ForAll[{x, y}, 
  Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[y] == Sqrt[x + y + 2 Sqrt[x y]]], PositiveReals]

True
