determine weather the sum of (3sin(n))/n^(5/3) is convergent or divergent from 0 to infinity
i would imagine it converges
since n^a, a is bigger than 1
it is convergent
well \[\frac{5}{3}>1\][
and so \[\sum\frac{1}{n^{\frac{5}{3}}}\] converges
I don't reallly know much about converge and diverge. I just found series expansion on wolfram alpha. I see that it is not reliable
and \[\sin(n)\leq 1\]
wow i can't even read that. but we can use wolfram to check
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sum++sin%28n%29%2Fn^%283%2F5%29 yeah not only does it converge, but it is less than two
So that part that is posted on wolfram alpha that I posted, what do you call that?
so what is the first step? can i do the comparison test?
I will study these more so that I know the steps.
yes you can compare it to a "p" series ( i think that is what it is called)
\[\sum\frac{1}{n^p}\] converges if \[p>1\]
\[ \frac{3sin(n)}{n^{5/3}}\] sin(n) is alternating
well not exactly
almost got that right lol
lol
cos(n) alternated ;)
...pi*n that is , ill get my head on straight eventually
but in any case it is true that \[\sin(n)\leq 1\]so \[\frac{\sin(n)}{n^{\frac{5}{3}}}\leq \frac{1}{n^{\frac{5}{3}}}\]
one on the right converges so one on the left does as well.
yeah that pi ...
