[SOLVED] Series with Trigonometric funtions

Homework Statement


Determine whether the series converges conditionally,converges absolutely or diverges.

[tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{\sin (n+\frac{1}{n})}{\ln (\ln n)}[/tex]






The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\frac{\sin (n+\frac{1}{n})}{\ln (\ln n)}=\frac{\sin n\cos \frac{1}{n}+\sin \frac{1}{n}\cos n}{\ln (\ln n)}=\frac{\sin n(1+O(\frac{1}{n^2}))+\cos n(\frac{1}{n}+O(\frac{1}{n^3}))}{\ln (\ln n)}[/tex]

[tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\sin n,\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\cos n[/tex] are bounded

From Dirichlet's Test we can deduce that this series converges

[tex]|a_n|=\left|\frac{\sin n(1+O(\frac{1}{n^2})}{\ln (\ln n)}\right|+\left|\frac{cos n(\frac{1}{n}+O(\frac{1}{n^3}))}{\ln (\ln n)}\right|[/tex]

if we look for example at [tex]\left|\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{cos n}{n\ln (\ln n)}\right|>\left|\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{cos n}{n\ln (n)}\right|[/tex]

0<|cosn|<1 and [tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n\ln (n)}[/tex] diverges by Integral Test
So this series converges conditionally!

Completely correct, nothing I can really add of value. You seem to be getting most of these right =]
 

1. What are some common examples of series with trigonometric functions?

Some common examples of series with trigonometric functions include the Fourier series, Taylor series for trigonometric functions, and infinite series expansions of various trigonometric identities.

2. How are trigonometric series used in real-world applications?

Trigonometric series are used in many real-world applications, such as in signal processing, engineering, physics, and mathematics. They are also used in the study of periodic phenomena, such as sound, light, and electrical signals.

3. What is the convergence criteria for series with trigonometric functions?

The convergence criteria for series with trigonometric functions is similar to that of other series, where the series must approach a finite limit as the number of terms increases. Additionally, some series may have specific criteria for convergence, such as the Dirichlet or Abel's test.

4. Can trigonometric series be used to approximate non-trigonometric functions?

Yes, trigonometric series can be used to approximate non-trigonometric functions through the use of Fourier series. This method involves representing a function as a series of trigonometric functions, allowing for easier analysis and calculation of certain properties of the function.

5. How can we manipulate and simplify series with trigonometric functions?

Series with trigonometric functions can be manipulated and simplified through various techniques, such as using trigonometric identities, changing the order of terms, and using properties of limits. Additionally, some series may have known closed forms, making them easier to work with and manipulate.
