Homework Statement
I need to use the Comparison Test or the Limit Comparison Test to determine whether or not this series converges:
∑ sin(1/n^2) from 1 to ∞
Homework Equations
Limit Comparison Test: Let {An} and {Bn} be positive sequences. Assume the following limit exists:
L = lim[n→∞] An/Bn
if L>0, then ƩAn converges iff ƩBn converges.
if L = ∞ and ƩAn converges, then ƩBn converges.
if L = 0 and ƩBn converges, then ƩAn converges.
Comparison Test: Assume that there exists M > 0 such that 0 ≤ An ≤ Bn for n ≥ M.
if Ʃ[n=1 to ∞] Bn converges, then Ʃ[n=1 to ∞]An also converges.
if Ʃ[n=1 to ∞] An diverges, then Ʃ[n=1 to ∞]Bn also diverges.
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried comparing with sin(1/n), sin(n), sin(1/n^3), sin(1/n^4), and a handful of other functions involving sin.
Sorry, I'm new to the comparison test and limit comparison test :/
