TITLE: Show that $n \ge \sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}$
QUESTION [14 upvotes]: (how) Can I show that:
$n \ge \sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}$ ?
It should be true for all $n \ge 5$.
Tried it via induction:

$n=5$: $5 \ge \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6} $ is true. 
$n\implies n+1$:
I need to show that $n+1 \ge \sqrt{n+1} + \sqrt{n+2}$

Starting with $n+1 \ge \sqrt{n} + \sqrt{n+1} + 1 $ .. (now??)
Is this the right way?

REPLY [3 votes]: What I would try first if I wanted it to be true - no tricks:
$n \ge \sqrt{n + 1} + \sqrt{n} \iff \frac{n}{\sqrt{n}} \ge \frac{\sqrt{n+1}}{\sqrt{n}} + \frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n}} \iff \sqrt{n} \ge \sqrt{1 + \frac{1}{n}} + 1 \Leftarrow n \ge 5$.
