Series with Hyperbolic and Trigonometric functions

In summary, the series \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\ln \left(\frac{\cosh \frac{\pi}{n}}{\cos \frac{\pi}{n}}\right) converges because when expanded, it becomes \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\pi^2}{n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})\right), which converges.

Homework Statement


Determine whether the series converges and diverges.

[tex]\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\ln \left(\frac{\cosh \frac{\pi}{n}}{\cos \frac{\pi}{n}}\right)[/tex]






The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\ln \left(\frac{1+\frac{\pi^2}{2n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})}{1-\frac{\pi^2}{2n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\ln \left(\left(1+\frac{\pi^2}{2n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})\right)\left(1+\frac{\pi^2}{2n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})\right)\right)=\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\ln \left(1+\frac{\pi^2}{n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})\right)[/tex]

[tex]=\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\pi^2}{n^2}+O(\frac{1}{n^4})\right)[/tex]

Sorry its not immediately obvious to me how you got the your first line of working to your second.
 

1. What are hyperbolic functions in a series?

Hyperbolic functions are mathematical functions that are related to the hyperbola, a type of curve. These functions are defined in terms of exponential functions and are the hyperbolic counterparts to the trigonometric functions.

2. How are hyperbolic functions used in series?

Hyperbolic functions are commonly used in series to approximate other functions. They can also be used to solve differential equations and to model real-world situations, such as the shape of a rope hanging between two poles.

3. What are some examples of hyperbolic and trigonometric functions in a series?

Examples of hyperbolic functions in a series include sinh (hyperbolic sine), cosh (hyperbolic cosine), and tanh (hyperbolic tangent). Examples of trigonometric functions in a series include sin (sine), cos (cosine), and tan (tangent).

4. How are hyperbolic and trigonometric functions related?

Hyperbolic functions are related to trigonometric functions through various identities and formulas. For example, the hyperbolic sine function can be expressed in terms of the sine function, and the hyperbolic cosine function is related to the cosine function.

5. What are some common applications of series with hyperbolic and trigonometric functions?

Series with hyperbolic and trigonometric functions have many applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering. They are commonly used in the study of differential equations, Fourier analysis, and signal processing. They can also be used to model various physical phenomena, such as heat transfer and electromagnetic waves.
