Convergence of the series sin(na)/ln(10)^n

Recall that
|\sin x|\le1, so this is an alternating series.

The series will then converge iff
\left|(\sin na)/(\ln10^n)\right|\to0 as
n\to\infty and this summand is non-increasing.

You have


\left|(\sin na)/(\ln10^n)\right|\le\frac1{\ln10^n}=\frac1{n\ln10}\to0

and
\frac1{n\ln10} is clearly strictly decreasing. This means the alternating series converges.
