It isnt true for every a and b.
For instance, if a = 4 and b = 0 the inequality becomes:
√(4+0) < √4 + √0
2<2
which isnt true.
[If either a≤0 or b≤0 then it isnt true]

If a and b are both positive then it is true, since in that case,
ab > 0
√(ab) > 0
2√(ab) > 0
a + b + 2√(ab) > a + b
[√a + √b]^2 > a + b
√a + √b > √(a + b)

Aaahhaa! You changed the question, now, which I previously answered to perfect satisfaction. And now you bait and switch.

You are lower than a used car salesman, lower than a Democratic Representative in Congress! Slink back to your previous question, and give best answer to me for it, or I will call you "Smartpantys" from now on!!!

For example:
√(a+b) < √a + √b
√(9+16) < √9 + √16
√25 < √9 + √16
5 < 3 + 4
5 < 7
.......

√(a+b) < √a + √b
then square both sides
[ √(a+b) ]^2 < [ √a + √b ]^2
a + b < a + 2√ab + b
a + b < a + b + 2√ab
