Problem

The sequence of numbers \(a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots\) is given by the following conditions \(a_1 = 1\), \(a_{n + 1} = a_n + \frac {1} {a_n^2}\) (\(n \geq 0\)).

Prove that

a) this sequence is unbounded;

b) \(a_{9000} > 30\);

c) find the limit \(\lim \limits_ {n \to \infty} \frac {a_n} {\sqrt [3] n}\).
