By using the integral test, I know that ∞∑n=1sin(1n) diverges. However, how would I show that the series diverges using the limit comparison test? Would I simply let ∞∑n=1an=∞∑n=1bn=∞∑n=1sin(1n) and then take lim to show the series diverges (assuming the limit converges to some nonnegative, finite value)?
Answer
Notice x_n = \frac{1}{n} , then \sum \frac{1}{n}, the harmonic series, we all know is divergent. Now,
\lim \frac{ \sin (\frac{1}{n})}{\frac{1}{n}} =_{t = \frac{1}{n}} \lim_{t \to 0} \frac{ \sin t}{t} = 1
The result now follows by the limit comparison test. :)
