SUMMARY

The series E sin(4/3n) diverges based on the comparison test with the series 3/(4n), which is known to diverge. Since sin(4/3n) is bounded between -1 and 1, it does not affect the divergence of the series when compared to a divergent series like 3/(4n). Therefore, the conclusion is that E sin(4/3n) diverges as well.

given the series, determine whether the series converges or diverges:
(E is my sigma)

E sin(4/3n)


Now would it just be the same if i compared 1/n to 3/4n to diverge

Then could I just say since 3/4n diverges then sin(3/4n) must also diverge?

I wouldn't really know how to do the algebra for the direct comparison test or limit comparison test with the sin being there. But i can do the algebra for comparing 1/n with 3/4n..help please
