CLAIM

For all $n \ge 1$, then let us prove $$\sqrt{2n+25+\frac{1+\ln (n-1)}{2}} > x_{n} > \sqrt{2n+25}$$ PROOF

This holds for $n=1$. This can be checked numerically.

Assume this holds for $n=m$. Then, we can prove the left hand inequality through induction as $$x_{m+1}^2=x_{m}^2+2+\frac{1}{x_{m}^2}>2n+27 \implies x_{m+1} > \sqrt{2n+27}$$ Now from $x_{m+1}^2-x_{m}^2=2+\frac{1}{x_{m}^2}$, we now have $$x_{m+1}^2-x_{0}^2=\sum_{n=0}^{m-1} \frac{1}{x_{n}^2}<\sum_{n=0}^{m-1}\frac{1}{2n+25}<\sum_{n=1}^{m}\frac{1}{2n}\le \frac{1+\ln m}{2} \tag{1}$$ Thus, our claim is proved. The desired result follows from our Claim.

NOTE: My original answer was wrong, which is the reason for this rather large edit.


$x_n^2-x_{n-1}^2=2+\frac{1}{x_{n-1}^2}$ for $n\geq1$.

Thus, $$x_{1000}^2=2\cdot1000+25+\frac{1}{x_0^2}+\frac{1}{x_1^2}+...+\frac{1}{x_{999}^2}>2025$$ and $$x_{1000}^2=2\cdot1000+25+\frac{1}{x_0^2}+\frac{1}{x_1^2}+...+\frac{1}{x_{999}^2}<2025+\frac{100}{x_0^2}+\frac{900}{x_{100}^2}<$$ $$<2025+4+\frac{900}{225}=2033<45.1^2$$

Because $x_{100}^2>225$.
