Let m∈N and c1,c2,…,cm∈R+. Show that limn→∞n√cn1+cn2+…+cnm=max{c1,c2,…,cm}
My attempt: Since limn→∞n√cn1+cn2+…+cnm≤limn→∞n√max{c1,c2,…,cm}=limn→∞n√nn√max{c1,c2,…,cm}=limn→∞max{n√cn1,n√cn2,…,n√cnm}=limn→∞max{c1,c2,…,cm}=max{c1,c2,…,cm}
it follows that limn→∞n√cn1+cn2+…+cnm is bounded, but I don't think it's monotonically decreasing, at least I can't prove this. Can anybody tell me whether the approach I have chosen is a good one, whether what I have done is correct and how to finish the proof?
Answer
The short proof.
Let c=max{c1,c2,…,cm} and note that:
cn≤cn1+cn2+⋯+cnm≤mcn
Now take the nth root, and see that limn→∞n√m=1.
