⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

$\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{a(a+b)^3}+b\sqrt{a^2+b^2})$

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_40908 : ∀ a b : ℝ, (Real.sqrt 2) * (Real.sqrt (a * (a + b) ^ 3) + b * Real.sqrt (a ^ 2 + b ^ 2)) = Real.sqrt (2 * (a * (a + b) ^ 3 + b ^ 2 * (a ^ 2 + b ^ 2)))   :=  by sorry

Squaring a sum of radicals produces a missing cross term.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Retain the displayed radical expression without asserting the invented square-root-of-a-sum equality; recover the actual source task.

Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
