# Finding Convergence of a Series

According to WolframAlpha this series converges, but I can't find out how to properly use the limit comparison test with it. Can anyone at least tell me what my $b_n$ might be? $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sqrt{n}\cdot\sin^2\left(\frac{\pi}n\right)$$

Thank you! Hopefully someone will follow up with an answer. – Paul Mar 21 '13 at 8:39

Remember that $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x=1$, hence when you see $\sin^2\left(\frac{\pi}n\right)$,
you should immediately think of $\left(\frac{\pi}n\right)^2$. So try $b_n=\sqrt{n}\left(\frac{1}n\right)^2=\frac1{n\sqrt n}$.
For all $x$, we have $$\sin^2(x)\le x^2$$ Thus, $$\left|\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sqrt{n}\cdot\sin^2(\pi/n)\right|\le\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\pi^2}{n^{3/2}}$$ which converges by the $p$-test ( $\frac32\gt1$ ).
