lim (x-x) for x going to infinity equals? Is it simply 1?

I need this limit ((x(sqrt(x+2)))/sqrt(x+1))-x to calculate the asymptote of this function: ((x(sqrt(x+2)))/sqrt(x+1)).

which, according to the class notes: y=x+1/2

with a = 1, b = 1/2

However, the online math calculators say that currently no steps are supported to show for this kind of problem.

I calculated this limit as x*sqrt(1)-x = 1, but apparently the correct answer is 1/2.

What is my mistake?

Thx in advance.
