Homework Statement
Determine whether the series is converging or diverging
Homework Equations
∞
∑ 1 / (3n +cos2(n))
n=1
The Attempt at a Solution
I used The Comparison Test, I'm just not sure I'm right. Here's what I've got:
The dominant term in the denominator is is 3n and
cos2(n) alternates between 0 and 1
so,
1 / (3n +cos2(n)) < 1 / 3n
which is convergent geometric series, since | r | = 1/3 < 1
And so, 1 / (3n +cos2(n)) is convergent according to the Comparison Test
