    series
    if I have a series from n=3 to n=infinity, and the content is n*sin(1/n), what test can I do to see if it is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent.

    A choice of test,
    Divergence test
    geometric series
    p-series test
    comparison test
    limit comparison test
    alternating series test
    ratio test
    root test
    integral test

    Just try the limit:



    So, the series diverges.

    We can intuitively see this one diverges because of the product of sin with n.
