calculus - Find the value of : $lim_{ntoinfty} left( left(sum_{k=n+1}^{2n}2sqrt[2k]{2k}-sqrt[k]{k}right)-nright)$



Find $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \left( \left(\sum_{k=n+1}^{2n}2\sqrt[2k]{2k}-\sqrt[k]{k}\right)-n\right).$$




I have tried rewriting the sum in a clever way, applying the Mean Value Theorem or Stolz-Cesaro Lemma somehow but haven't found anything fruitful.



Can someone please share a hint/trick to evaluate this?



Thank you.


Answer



Hint: use the power series expansion
$$
\sqrt[y]y = \exp\bigg(\frac{\log y}y\bigg) = 1 + \frac{\log y}y + O\bigg( \frac{(\log y)^2}{y^2} \bigg)
$$

(or upper and lower bounds for $\exp(\cdot)$ that express the same idea).



Reality check: the answer is a tidy number about 4% less than $\frac12$.
