Series with Trigonometric funtions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The series \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{\sin (n+\frac{1}{n})}{\ln (\ln n)}\) converges conditionally, as established through Dirichlet's Test. The analysis shows that both \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\sin n\) and \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\cos n\) are bounded, leading to the conclusion that the series converges. The comparison with \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{\cos n}{n\ln(n)}\) further supports the conditional convergence, as the latter diverges by the Integral Test.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of series convergence tests, specifically Dirichlet's Test
  • Familiarity with trigonometric functions, particularly sine and cosine
  • Knowledge of logarithmic functions, including \(\ln\) and \(\ln(\ln)\)
  • Experience with the Integral Test for series divergence
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Dirichlet's Test for convergence in more detail
  • Learn about the properties of bounded sequences in series
  • Explore the Integral Test and its applications in series analysis
  • Investigate the behavior of trigonometric series and their convergence properties
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and researchers focusing on series convergence, particularly those dealing with trigonometric functions and logarithmic comparisons.

[SOLVED] Series with Trigonometric funtions

Homework Statement


Determine whether the series converges conditionally,converges absolutely or diverges.

[tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{\sin (n+\frac{1}{n})}{\ln (\ln n)}[/tex]






The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\frac{\sin (n+\frac{1}{n})}{\ln (\ln n)}=\frac{\sin n\cos \frac{1}{n}+\sin \frac{1}{n}\cos n}{\ln (\ln n)}=\frac{\sin n(1+O(\frac{1}{n^2}))+\cos n(\frac{1}{n}+O(\frac{1}{n^3}))}{\ln (\ln n)}[/tex]

[tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\sin n,\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\cos n[/tex] are bounded

From Dirichlet's Test we can deduce that this series converges

[tex]|a_n|=\left|\frac{\sin n(1+O(\frac{1}{n^2})}{\ln (\ln n)}\right|+\left|\frac{cos n(\frac{1}{n}+O(\frac{1}{n^3}))}{\ln (\ln n)}\right|[/tex]

if we look for example at [tex]\left|\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{cos n}{n\ln (\ln n)}\right|>\left|\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{cos n}{n\ln (n)}\right|[/tex]

0<|cosn|<1 and [tex]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n\ln (n)}[/tex] diverges by Integral Test
So this series converges conditionally!

Completely correct, nothing I can really add of value. You seem to be getting most of these right =]
