You can prove this to yourself in a couple of ways:

You can find the vertex of the parabola that graphs the quadratic which is a minimum value of the function and then show that it is greater than .

You can show that has complex roots, proving that the graphs of and never intersect.

You can use a graphing calculator or graphing utility on your computer to show that never gets bigger than the quadratic.
