What are you supposed to do with an? Find its limit? Sum it?

Oh, I am sorry that I did not specify. I need to take the limit as n goes to infinity of this sequence.
 
Does it seem, to anyone, that I have left any more information out?
 
Hint: Try looking at a bound...what's it greater than, or what's it less than. Then take the limit of that, you should have your answer.
