let  u_n =cos(π(√(n^2  +n+1))) find nature of Σ u_n .
$${let}\:\:{u}_{{n}} ={cos}\left(\pi\sqrt{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+{n}+\mathrm{1}}\right)\:{find}\:{nature}\:{of}\:\Sigma\:{u}_{{n}} . \\ $$$$ \\ $$

we have π(√(n^2  +n+1)) =πn(√(1+(1/n) +(1/n^2 )))  ∼nπ(1+ (1/2)((1/n) +(1/n^2 ))=nπ +(π/2)  +(π/n) ⇒  cos(π(√(n^2  +n+1 ))) ∼cos(nπ +(π/2) +(π/n))=−sin(nπ +(π/n))  =(−1)^(n−1)  cos((π/n)) but we have cos((π/n))∼1−(π^2 /n^2 ) ⇒  u_n ∼ (−1)^(n−1) (1−(π^2 /n^2 )) but Σ (−1)^n  diverges ⇒Σu_(n )  diverges
$${we}\:{have}\:\pi\sqrt{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+{n}+\mathrm{1}}\:=\pi{n}\sqrt{\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\:+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }} \\ $$$$\sim{n}\pi\left(\mathrm{1}+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\:+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\right)={n}\pi\:+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\:+\frac{\pi}{{n}}\:\Rightarrow\right. \\ $$$${cos}\left(\pi\sqrt{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+{n}+\mathrm{1}\:}\right)\:\sim{cos}\left({n}\pi\:+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\:+\frac{\pi}{{n}}\right)=−{sin}\left({n}\pi\:+\frac{\pi}{{n}}\right) \\ $$$$=\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \:{cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{{n}}\right)\:{but}\:{we}\:{have}\:{cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{{n}}\right)\sim\mathrm{1}−\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${u}_{{n}} \sim\:\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\right)\:{but}\:\Sigma\:\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \:{diverges}\:\Rightarrow\Sigma{u}_{{n}\:} \:{diverges} \\ $$
