Homework Statement
Determine the convergence or divergence of the series: series from n = 1 to infinity of cos (3npi). ((please rewrite in LaTex... idk how?)).
The Attempt at a Solution
I rewrote the series to the following:
series from n = 1 to infinity of (-1)^n ... because the terms of the above series go to -1, 1, -1, 1, -1.
The first requirement of the alternative series test, is to take the limit as n approaches infinity of the sequence a(sub n). Is a(sub n) just equal to 1 in this case? Doesn't that mean it diverges by the nth term test for divergence because the limit is 1 and not equal to 0?
