Use comparison test to determine whether the series converges or not. $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{5\sin^2 k}{k!}$$
Attempt: My guess is that it converges. The problem I am having is that I don't know what to compare it with. I am trying to find series $b_k$ that's is greater. For example, $\frac{1}{k}$ is greater for $k>3$ or something like that. But that's harmonic series that diverge. So I am not quite sure what to compare it with. Hints please.
Answer
I assume that the series is $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{5\sin^2(k)}{k!}.$$
Hint 1: What do you know about $a$ and $b$ in $a\leq \sin^2(k) \leq b$?
Hint 2 : What can you say of $\frac{5\sin^2(k)}{k!}$ compared to $\frac{5b}{k!}$
Can you conclude from here?
