Real numbers/x^2+(x+1)^2 \geq (x+2)^2 for x \geq 3/Exercise/Solution

From Wikiversity

We compute both sides, the estimate we have to show is then

For real numbers we can add on both sides, so the estimate is equivalent with

We write the left hand side as

For we have and therefore

So for we get the estimate

and hence the original estimate.
