Answer:

Convergence

Explanation:

Use the Squeeze Theorem,

I know that


\frac{k \sin {}^(2) (k) }{1 + k {}^(3) }

lies between 0 and 1 so


0 \leqslant \frac{k \sin {}^(2) (k) }{1 + {k}^(3) } \leqslant \frac{k}{1 + k {}^(3) }

The final series behaves like


\frac{1}{k {}^(2) }

Using the p series, since p is 2, the series


\frac{k}{1 + k {}^(3) } \: converges

Since the 0 and k/1+k^3 converges, the series converge.

Convergence
