calculus - convergence of $sum_{n}^{infty}(-1)^nsin frac{2}{n}cos frac{1}{n}$



I have problem similar to this convergence of $\sum_{n}^{\infty}(-1)^n \log(1+\sin(\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt n)$ . With series $\sum_{n}^{\infty}(-1)^n\sin \frac{2}{n}\cos \frac{1}{n}$. I want to show that it is not increasing. I know that $\cos x$ is increasing as it approaches 0 and $\sin x$ is decreasing as it approaches 0. I think I need to show somehow that sin decrease faster than cos. But how do I do that? I thought about deriving and seeing if it's smaller than zero, but I don't think that it is good way.


Answer



$\sin\frac{2}{n} \cos\frac{1}{n} =2\sin\frac{1}{n} \cos^2 \frac{1}{n} =2\sin\frac{1}{n} -2\sin^3 \frac{1}{n}$
