How do I find the following limit?
limn→∞√1+√2+...+√nn√n
The answer (from Wolfram) is 23, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Is this an application of the Squeeze theorem? I'm not quite sure.
Answer
limn→+∞1nn∑k=1√kn=∫10√xdx=23
by Riemann sums and the integrability of √x over [0,1].
For a more elementary approach, notice that √k is pretty close to 23[(k+12)3/2−(k−12)3/2] and apply creative telescoping and squeezing.
