jbunniii said:You can write
$$\begin{align}
1 - \cos\left(\frac{2}{n}\right) = 2\left[\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cos\left(\frac{2}{n}\right)\right]
&= 2\sin^2\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) \\
\end{align}$$
LCKurtz said:$$\frac 1 {\frac 1 n}$$doesn't go to 0 as ##n\to\infty##.
Another method is to use L'Hospital's rule on$$
\frac{1 - \cos{\frac 1 n}}{\frac 1 n}$$
It didn't go anywhere. I was just suggesting how to rewrite the hard part. Now if we substitute back, we getizen said:where is 'n' gone?

$$n\left[1 - \cos\left(\frac{2}{n}\right)\right] = 2n \sin^2\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)$$
Can you see what to do now?
