The sequence is bounded above by? The sequence is bounded below by? What os the limit of the sequnce?

Use the Squeeze Theorem to find the limit of the sequence in the image I really need to use the squeeze theorem for this one i would really aprreaciate it if the squeeze theorem is used as i can only do it that way

Real Analysis Suppose {an} is a bounded sequence of Real numbers. If Lim(Supan)=M as n approaches infinity prove that for every Epsilon>0, we have an<M+Epsilon for all but a finite number of values of n. I am told that this is the ratio test using Limit Supremum. I don't understand this statement. If M is the Lim of the Supremum, then how can some element of an be between M and M+Epsilon? Isn't the Supremum the Greatest Lower Bound? Meaning that there are no elements above the Supremum?
