How can I tell if the following series is Divergent or Convergent:

∑( e^(6pi*n) sin^2(4pi*n) ) the sum limits are from -infinity to infinity

Can you evaluate ##\sin(4\pi n)## where ##n## is an integer?

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
