(a) Show that for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R},

lim⁡k→∞3ksin⁡(x/3k)=x,\lim _{k \rightarrow \infty} 3^{k} \sin \left(x / 3^{k}\right)=x,

stating carefully what properties of sin you are using.

Show that the series ∑n⩾12nsin⁡(x/3n)\sum_{n \geqslant 1} 2^{n} \sin \left(x / 3^{n}\right) converges absolutely for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}.

(b) Let (an)n∈N\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} be a decreasing sequence of positive real numbers tending to zero. Show that for θ∈R,θ\theta \in \mathbb{R}, \theta not a multiple of 2π2 \pi, the series

∑n⩾1aneinθ\sum_{n \geqslant 1} a_{n} e^{i n \theta}

converges.

Hence, or otherwise, show that ∑n⩾1sin⁡(nθ)n\sum_{n \geqslant 1} \frac{\sin (n \theta)}{n} converges for all θ∈R\theta \in \mathbb{R}.
