∞∑n=1nsin(nπ2)n2+12
Calc noob here.
I have this series. From inputting the first few values I realize this is an alternating series. I also knew this as sin is alternating. From seeing the pattern I tried to solve this series by changing the sum to:
∞∑n=1(2n−1)(−1)n+18n+5
The first few values are: 1/13 - 3/21 + 5/37 - 7/61 +...
I'm not sure if this is a valid move.
I believe my second sum diverges. As we find from the series divergence test that the limit would not equal 0.
Any help is appreciated!
Answer
∞∑n=1nsin(πn2)n2+12=∞∑n=0(−1)n(2n+1)(2n+1)2+12 The series converges by alternating series test.
