Compute $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left(\left(\frac{9}{4} \right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n} \right)^{n^2} \right)^{1/n}$ [duplicate]

may someone show how to compute $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left(\left(\frac{9}{4} \right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n} \right)^{n^2} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}$?

According to W|A it's e, but I don't know even how to start...

Clearly, $$\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\!n^2}< \left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\!n^2}<2\,\mathrm{e}^n,$$ and therefore $$\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\!n}< \left(\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n^2}\right)^{1/n}\le 2^{1/n}\mathrm{e}$$ which implies that $$\mathrm{e}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{\!n}\le\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n^2}\right)^{1/n}\le \lim_{n\to\infty}2^{1/n}\mathrm{e}=\mathrm{e}.$$ Hence the limit of $\,\left(\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n^2}\right)^{1/n},\,\,$ as $\,n\to\infty$, exists and it is equal to e.
$$\left(1+\frac{1}{n} \right)^{n^2}\sim_\infty e^n$$
but $$\frac 9 4<e$$ hence $$\left(\frac{9}{4} \right)^n=_\infty o(e^n)$$ hence $$\left(\left(\frac{9}{4} \right)^n+\left(1+\frac{1}{n} \right)^{n^2} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}\sim_\infty e$$
