**Find the limit of the sequence**

\[
\left\{ \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3}}, \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3}}}, \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3}}}}, \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3 + \sqrt{3}}}}}, \ldots \right\}
\]

(a) **First, show that the sequence is bounded:** \(0 < a_n < 3\)

(b) **Then show that the sequence is increasing**

(c) **Then find its limit.**
