trigonometry - Sum of Sine Series



I have a sine series given by



n=0sin(nθ)2n1,



and I would like to find the sum assuming that 0<θ<π. Using some similar posts on this site I was able to express the sum as




Im(eiθ arctanh(eiθ)1).



I'm not well-versed with these functions aside from their definitions, so how can I simplify this expression further?


Answer



You did a good job showing that
n=0eint2n1=eit2tanh1(eit2)1


Do the same
n=0eint2n1=eit2tanh1(eit2)1
Combine them to get
n=0sin(nt)2n1=i2(eit2tanh1(eit2)eit2tanh1(eit2))


Now, using the hint given by metamorphy,
tanh1(eit2)=12log(coth(it4))=12log(icot(t4))

tanh1(eit2)=12log(coth(it4))=12log(icot(t4))
After a bunch of simplifications, you should get
n=0sin(nt)2n1=π4cos(t2)+12sin(t2)log(cot(t4))
