hey /sci/
desparately need some help
got an exam tomorrow and this came up in a mock paper and i dont know how to do it.

Lim(sin(K+1)/sin(k))
thanks

Try to do it yourself first.

>> No.5428127

>>5428115
i cant even think of a first step

>> No.5428177

ok, i subbed in for the power series of sin k and have cancelled down to
lim(as k tends to infinity) ( sum (from i to infinity) ((k+1)/k)^2i+1

Don't assume it converges.

>>5428177
Also I don't know how you got that, but what you did to get it is probably wrong. Dividing the power series shouldn't get you anywhere.

>> No.5428377

>>5428364
ok, maybe ive gone wrong even earlier

the question was to find the radius of convergence for this power series

You're definitely not going to get any help if you can't clearly explain what question you're working on.

the picture hadnt been selected when i thought it had.
if you had seen the picture, i just went from were i was stuck to save time. finding the limit described originally was the problem

Oh, I see what you're doing. The sin(k) part is just a number of size comparable to one no matter how large you make k, so it's not very important in the problem. The terms you have to watch are the x^k, the 6^k and the k^3. Ask first which wins out (making the terms ever larger or ever smaller) and then, if the terms do get smaller, whether they converge to a sum.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ,no ,no, no there's no limit!

so do i do the limit test at all? because when i do that you can pull mod(x/6) out and the ((K+1)/k)^3 tends to 1 and im just left with the sin(k+1)/sin(k) part?
