A level inequalities/proof math question

Example 6.14
Let n be a positive integer.

Prove that
[br]2n1/2n[br]{2n-1}/{2n} < 2n12n+1[br] \sqrt{\frac {2n-1}{2n+1}}[br]

Notice that 2n-1 is always >1. Thus, you just have to show that {sqrt.(2n-1)}/2n < 1/{sqrt.(2n+1)}
It effectively implies that we have to show that {sqrt.([4n^2]-1)} < 2n.

Do you want to know how to do it? Or a general Problem?
