As homework I was given the following series to check for convergence:
∞∑n=1sin(n)sin(n2)√n
and the tip was "use the appropriate identity".
I'm trying to use Dirichlet's test and show that it's the product of a null monotonic sequence and a bounded series, but I can't figure out which trig. identity is needed.
Can anyone point me towards the right direction?
Many thanks.
Answer
Hint: You can show that N∑n=1sin(n)sin(n2)=12(1−cos(N2+N)) To do this use identity sin(α)sin(β)=12(cos(α−β)−cos(α+β))
