Answer

converges to $0$

Work Step by Step

As we know that $ \lim\limits_{n \to \dfrac{\pi}{2}} \tan x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ and $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{1}{\sqrt n}=0$ Let $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{1}{\sqrt n}) \tan^{-1} n$ This implies that $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{1}{\sqrt n})(\tan^{-1} n)=(0) (\dfrac{\pi}{2})$ and $a_n=0$ Thus, {$a_n$} is Convergent and converges to $0$.
