    multiply top and bottom by the conjugate:
(x^2 +y^2)/(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)-1) * (√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)
=(x^2+y^2)(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/((x^2+y^2+1)-1)
= (x^2+y^2)(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/(x^2+y^2)
= √(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1
    
(x^2 +y^2)/(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)-1) * (√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)
=(x^2+y^2)(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/((x^2+y^2+1)-1)
= (x^2+y^2)(√(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1)/(x^2+y^2)
= √(x^2 +y^2 +1)+1
