If $lim_{ntoinfty}a_n=0$, then $lim_{ntoinfty}a_n^n=0$ [closed]
Let ${a_n}$ be a sequence such that $lim_{ntoinfty} a_n = 0$. Show that $lim_{ntoinfty} a_n^n = 0$.
I haven't been able to find anything about this question and would greatly appreciate if anyone knows how to do it.

What can you say about the result when a (real) number close to zero is raised to a "large" positive integer power?

$a_nto 0Rightarrow forall epsilon>0,exists n_0inmathbb{N}: |a_n|<epsilon forall n>n_0$
For $epsilon=1,exists n_oinmathbb{N}: |a_n|<1 forall n>n_0 Rightarrow |a_n^n|to 0
Rightarrow a_n^nto 0$

Use the Root test on the sequence $b_n = a_n^n$.
