The sequence $\{a_n\}$ is defined by: $a_1=\frac{21}{16}$, and for $n\ge2$,\[ 2a_n-3a_{n-1}=\frac{3}{2^{n+1}}. \]Let $m$ be an integer with $m\ge2$. Prove that: for $n\le m$, we have\[ \left(a_n+\frac{3}{2^{n+3}}\right)^{\frac{1}{m}}\left(m-\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{{\frac{n(m-1)}{m}}}\right)<\frac{m^2-1}{m-n+1}. \]
