y≥0  y=(√(x+2(√(x−1))))+(√(x−2(√(x−1))))  squaring  y^2 =(x+2(√(x−1)))+2(√((x+2(√(x−1)))(x−2(√(x−1)))))+(x−2(√(x−1)))  y^2 =2x+2(√(x^2 −4(x−1)))  y^2 =2x+2(√((x−2)^2 ))  y^2 =2x+2∣x−2∣  x≤2 ⇒ ∣x−2∣=2−x  y^2 =2x+2(2−x)  y^2 =4  y>0 ⇒ y=2

method 2  let 2(√(x−1)) = u ; x−1=(1/4)u^2   ⇒x=((u^2 +4)/4) ; 1≤((u^2 +4)/4)≤2  ⇒4≤u^2 +4≤8 ; 0≤u^2 ≤4  ⇒0≤u≤2  the equality become to  (√(((u^2 +4)/4)+u)) +(√(((u^2 +4)/4)−u)) =  (1/2) [(√(u^2 +4u+4)) +(√(u^2 −4u+4)) ]=  (1/2)[ ∣u+2∣ +∣u−2∣ ] = (1/2)[ u+2−(u−2)]  =(1/2)×4=2

$${method}\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${let}\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{x}−\mathrm{1}}\:=\:{u}\:;\:{x}−\mathrm{1}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}{u}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}\:;\:\mathrm{1}\leqslant\frac{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}\leqslant\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}\leqslant{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\leqslant\mathrm{8}\:;\:\mathrm{0}\leqslant{u}^{\mathrm{2}} \leqslant\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{0}\leqslant{u}\leqslant\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${the}\:{equality}\:{become}\:{to} \\ $$$$\sqrt{\frac{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}+{u}}\:+\sqrt{\frac{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{4}}−{u}}\:= \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\left[\sqrt{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{u}+\mathrm{4}}\:+\sqrt{{u}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{u}+\mathrm{4}}\:\right]= \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left[\:\mid{u}+\mathrm{2}\mid\:+\mid{u}−\mathrm{2}\mid\:\right]\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left[\:{u}+\mathrm{2}−\left({u}−\mathrm{2}\right)\right] \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$
