Answer

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

Work Step by Step

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