Ratio Test:
\(i) If
, then the series is
is absolutely convergent.
(ii) If
or
, then the series is
is divergent.
(iii) If
, then the ratio test is inconclusive.
The series is
.
Consider
.
Apply ratio test:
\
.
The sine function is bound between
and
, therefore
for all values of
.
.
Multiply both sides of the inequality by
.
.
Theorem 4:
\The geometric series
is convergent if
.
The series is smaller than the convergent series, hence it must be converge by the comparision test.
\
Thus by theorem 4,
is convergent.
Therefore by the comparision test,
is convergent.
The series
is absolutely convergent.
