Show that $P=\sqrt{a^2-2ab+b^2}+\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}-\sqrt{a}\right):\left(\frac{b\sqrt{a}}{a-\sqrt{ab}}+\sqrt{b}\right)$ is rational Show that the number $$P=\sqrt{a^2-2ab+b^2}+\left(\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}-\sqrt{a}\right):\left(\dfrac{b\sqrt{a}}{a-\sqrt{ab}}+\sqrt{b}\right)$$ is a rational number ($P\in\mathbb{Q})$ if $a\in\mathbb{Q},b\in\mathbb{Q},a>0,b>0$ and $a\ne b$. Find the value of $P$ if $a=1.1$ and $b=1.22$.
My try: $$P=\left|a-b\right|+\dfrac{a-\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}\right)}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}:\dfrac{b\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}\left(a-\sqrt{ab}\right)}{a-\sqrt{ab}}=\\=|a-b|+\dfrac{\sqrt{ab}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}.\dfrac{a-\sqrt{ab}}{b\sqrt{a}+a\sqrt{b}-\sqrt{b^2a}}.$$

\begin{align}
P&=\sqrt{a^2-2ab+b^2}+\left(\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}-\sqrt{a}\right):\left(\dfrac{b\sqrt{a}}{a-\sqrt{ab}}+\sqrt{b}\right)=\\
&=|a-b|+\dfrac{\sqrt{ab}}{\sqrt a-\sqrt b}:\dfrac{b\sqrt a+a\sqrt b-b\sqrt a}{a-\sqrt{ab}}=\\
&=|a-b|+\dfrac{\sqrt{ab}}{\sqrt a-\sqrt b}:\dfrac{a\sqrt b}{\sqrt a\left(\sqrt a-\sqrt b\right)}=\\
&=|a-b|+\dfrac{\sqrt{ab}}{\sqrt a-\sqrt b}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt a\left(\sqrt a-\sqrt b\right)}{a\sqrt b}=\\
&=|a-b|+\dfrac{a\sqrt b\left(\sqrt a-\sqrt b\right)}{a\sqrt b\left(\sqrt a-\sqrt b\right)}=\\
&=|a-b|+1\;.
\end{align}
Since $\;a\;$ and $\;b\;$ are rational numbers, also $\;P\;$ is a rational number.
If $\;a=1.1\;$ and $\;b=1.22\;,\;$ the value of $\;P\;$ is
$\begin{align}
P&=|a-b|+1=|1.1-1.22|+1=|-0.12|+1=\\
&=0.12+1=1.12
\end{align}$
