So in this problem I'm required to use the nth term test for:
∞∑n=1cos(1n)
I made it into:
lim
I think it's going to diverge because cosine oscillates, but I don't know how to prove it with the nth term limit that I have above. Would I just divide by \frac{cos\frac{1}{n}}{\frac{1}{n}}? I'm lost.
Answer
Since \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \cos (\frac{1}{n}) = \cos (0) = 1 \neq 0
then the series \sum_{n=1}^\infty\cos(\frac{1}{n})
will diverge.
