Real Analysis Help: Prove √(a sub n) converges to √a
Hi. I need to show that the sequence √(a sub n) converges to √a. I don't even know how to begin this problem. Any help is appreciated.

Hint: The inverse of taking a square root is squaring it.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
