calculate the limit of this sequence $sqrt{1+sqrt{1+sqrt{1+sqrt{1..}}}}$

i am trying to calculate the limit of $a_n:=\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+}}}}..$ with $a_0:=1$ and $a_{n+1}:=\sqrt{1+a_n}$ i am badly stuck not knowing how to find the limit of this sequence and where to start the proof. i did some calculations but still cannot figure out the formal way of finding the limit of this sequence. what i tried is:
$$(1+(1+(1+..)^\frac{1}{2})^\frac{1}{2})^\frac{1}{2}$$ but i am totally stuck here

Answer

We (inductively) show following properties for sequence given by $a_{n+1} = \sqrt{1 + a_n}, a_0 =1$

1. $a_n \ge 0$ for all $n\in \Bbb N$


2. $(a_n)$ is monotonically increasing


3. $(a_n)$ is bounded above by $2$

Then by Monotone Convergence Theorem, the sequence converges hence the limit of sequence exists. Let $\lim a_{n} = a$ then $\lim a_{n+1} = a$ as well. Using Algebraic Limit Theorem, we get

$$
\lim a_{n+1} = \sqrt{1 + \lim a_n} \implies a = \sqrt {1 + a}

$$

Solving above equation gives out limit. Also we note that from Order Limit Theorem, we get $a_n \ge 0 \implies \lim a_n \ge 0$.
