Hi,
Without using l'hopital, how may I show that sin[(10pi)/(n+1)^2] / sin[(10pi)/n^2] converges?

The Sine Ratio Test is a method used in calculus to determine the convergence or divergence of a series. It is also known as the D'Alembert's Ratio Test.
The Sine Ratio Test compares the ratio of the absolute values of two consecutive terms in a series to the ratio of the absolute values of the corresponding terms in the series of the sine of the terms. If the limit of this ratio is less than 1, the series is convergent. If the limit is greater than 1, the series is divergent. If the limit is exactly 1, the test is inconclusive.
The Sine Ratio Test is often preferred over L'Hopital's Rule because it is simpler and easier to apply. It also works for a wider range of series, as L'Hopital's Rule only applies to series with indeterminate forms.
Yes, the Sine Ratio Test can be used to prove the convergence of a series even without using L'Hopital's Rule. This is one of the main advantages of the test.
The Sine Ratio Test is not applicable to alternating series or series with negative terms. It also cannot determine the exact value of the limit, only whether it is greater than or less than 1. Additionally, the test may be inconclusive for certain series, in which case other methods must be used to determine convergence or divergence.
