A) How do you prove that if 0(<or=)x(<or=)10, then 0(<or=)sqrt(x+1)(<or=)10?

B) So once that is found, then how can you prove that if 0(<or=)u(<or=)v(<or=)10, then 0(<or=)sqrt(u+1)(<or=)sqrt(v+1)(<or=)10?

How do you prove that if 0(<or=)x(<or=)10, then 0(<or=)sqrt(x+1)(<or=)10?
===========================
does the square root increase (is the derivative positive) as x goes from 0 to 10 ?
If so the left side of the domain is minimum and the right side is maximum of the function and we only need to test the ends.

d (x+1)^.5 / dx = .5 /sqrt(x+1)
that is positive everywhere in the domain so all we have to prove is the end points.

0 </= x </= 10

if x = 0
sqrt x+1 = sqrt 1 = 1
if x = 10
sqrt x+1 = sqrt 11 = 3.32

so
1 </ sqrt(x+1) </= 3.32
