This question already has an answer here:
Show that $lim_{nrightarrow infty} sqrt[n]{c_1^n+c_2^n+ldots+c_m^n} = max{c_1,c_2,ldots,c_m}$ [duplicate]

Using Sandwich Theorem, how can I evaluate the limit for -
$$lim_{nto infty} (a^n+b^n)^{1/n}$$ where $a$ and $b$ are positive quantities and $b$ is greater than $a$.

$$b < (a^{n} + b^{n})^{1/n} < 2^{1/n}b$$

Can you please elaborate this? I am getting an idea but not so sure about it. Please help me out.

@user574937 If you can show that the inequality is true, than we get the result from $lim_{ntoinfty} 2^{1/n} = 2^{lim_{nto infty} 1/n} = 1$ and the sandwitch theorem. To prove the inequality, take $n$th power of both sides and use $a<b$.

That part was understood. I mean, how did you get upon this conclusion? What and how did you thought?

@user574937 If you want some intuition of the proof, since $a<b$, $b^{n}$ will be much bigger than $a^{n}$ when $n$ is very large. So in the sequence $(a^{n} + b^{n})^{1/n}$, $a^{n}$ may not affect the limit.
