Astronauts in microgravity aboard the International Space Station can't use a normal scale to weigh themselves. One way they measure their mass is by riding a large compressed spring.
When the spring is released, a computer compares the motion to how the spring moves without the added mass of the person.
What will happen to the motion of the spring when the astronaut gets on the spring?

True or False?
If you add a positive number to its reciprocal, then the result is always greater than or equal to 2.
\[x + \frac{1}{x} \ge 2\]
Bonus: If true, give the relevant proof; if false, explain why.
