Answer

Converges to $1$

Work Step by Step

Consider $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n] {10n}$ Since, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n] {n}=1$ and $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} x^{1/n}=1$ when $x \gt 0$ So, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n] {10n}=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (10)^{1/n} (n^{1/n})=(1)(1)=1$ Hence, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=1$ and {$a_n$} is convergent and converges to $1$
