Why is the series sigma n=1 to infinity of cos(n) divergent

Because the terms do not approach zero.
what happens as n increases? do the terms of the series\[\{\cos(n)\}_{n=1 }^\infty\]approach zero? no, they oscillate forever between 1 and -1, which means we are always adding more and more non-zero terms that do not vanish as \(n\to\infty\), hence the series diverges
\(\cos \theta\) with n being integers: |dw:1342798960465:dw|
\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \cos \theta\] |dw:1342799128815:dw|
