Answer

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=6$ and {$a_n$} is convergent.

Work Step by Step

Let $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (2-\dfrac{1}{2^n})(3+\dfrac{1}{2^n})$ and $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (2-\dfrac{1}{2^n})(3+\dfrac{1}{2^n})=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (2-\dfrac{1}{(2^n)}) \cdot \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (3+\dfrac{1}{(2^n)})=2 \cdot 3$ or, $=6$ Hence, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=6$ and {$a_n$} is convergent.
