sequences and series - How to find the square root of sqrt20+sqrt20+sqrt20+cdots



Generally, I know how to calculate the sq roots or cube roots, but I am confused in this question, don't know how to do this:



20+20+20+



Note: Answer given in the key book is 5.

Not allowed to use calculator.


Answer



HINT:



Let S=20+20+20+ which is definitely >0



S2=20+SS2S20=0



But we need to show the convergence of the sum
