Answer

$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=-1 $ and {$a_n$} is convergent.

Work Step by Step

Consider $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{1-2n}{1+2n}$ or, $= \dfrac{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{1}{n}-2)}{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (\dfrac{1}{n}+2)}$ or, $= \dfrac{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{1}{n}- \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} 2}{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{1}{n}+\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} 2}$ or, $=\dfrac{0-2}{0+2}$ or, $=-1$ Thus, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n=-1 $ and {$a_n$} is convergent.
