Answer

Converges to $0$

Work Step by Step

Given: $a_n=n^{2}e^{-n}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}n^{2}e^{-n}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{n^{2}}{e^{n}}$ Use L-Hospital's Rule. $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{2n}{e^{n}}$ Again use L-Hospital's Rule. $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{2}{e^{n}}$ $=\frac{2}{\infty}$ $=0$ Hence, the sequence converges to $0$.
