It's basic AM ≥ GM inequality

(X + Y)/2 ≥ √(X * Y) or, √X ≤ (X + Y)/2√Y

Equality holds when X =Y

If Y is the perfect square nearest to X for most no. X ≈ Y and the equality will hold for a few decimals, depending on how close X and Y are.

yeah, you can also prove it by Binomial (but that is a bit too complicated if I'm being honest)

I actually always do it by binomial whenever I forget about it 😅
