Answer

converges to $1$

Work Step by Step

As we know that $ e^{\ln x}=x$ Let $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt [n] {n^2+n}$ This implies that $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} e^{\dfrac{\ln [n(n+1)]}{n}}$ or, $e^{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2+n}) (\dfrac{1/n^2}{1/n^2})}=0$ Thus, {$a_n$} is Convergent and converges to $1$.
