Which series convergence test do we use? The series of sin(1/n^2) vs the series of cos(1/n^2). These are two very common calculus 2 problems for the infinite series section!

LCT is just a more formal version of the Squeeze Theorem, no? I was just thinking along the lines of: For all x in (0,1], sin x < x. since each term of 1/n^2 is an element of (0,1], then sin(1/n^2)

@VeryEvilPettingZoo No, I just confused the Squeeze Theorem with direct comparison because I always remember the direction of implication in direct comparison by thinking about 'squeezing' a convergent/divergent series term for term between it and the constant function above/below it.

I have come up with a similar test for divergence for definite integrals with a singularity at some value. You take the limit as some variable, a, goes to 0 of the area between n and n+a where f(n+a) diverges. That area is like a thin, tall rectangle so its the limit of a*f(n+a). If its zero, it may or may not converge, otherwise it diverges

cos(x) = 1 - x^2 ... immediately obviously divergent. (cos(1/n^2)-1) definitely converges tho, same with sin(1/n^2). Because (cos(x)-1) and sin(x) has form x^k only, (1/n^2)^k only makes each term smaller.

Can't you just say that as n approaches infinity lim(sin(1/n^2)) ~ lim(1/n^2) or does that only work if both the numerator and the denominator are infinitesimals?

hey professor, i recently calculated the derivative of arctanh(sin(x)) and i realized it was sec(x). Does this mean that arctanh(sinx) is the same as ln(secx+tanx)? I plugged it into a graphing calculator and they were the same, except that arctanh(sinx) has extra "lines". Why does this happen?

Unfortunately its not so easy, all you have proved is that the sequence sin(1/x^2) converges but we cannot draw a conclusion about the sum. As a counterexample to your logic, we can say the for x≥1, 1/x is strictly decreasing and also bounded below 1/x>0. However, we know that the sum of 1/x from 1 to inf actually diverges.

This limit doesnt exist. If you put x=0 in the sin(1/x) you will have sin(1/0+) which is sin(+inf) and this have no solution cause the sine function is always between -1 and +1

I think you should write that way. That's all professor. But your whole answer completely right. Correct me if i am wrong. Hope you succes Professor ☺☺☺👍👍👍Thank You
