Motivation: Just a routine homework problem to check the student's understanding of comparison tests for convergence of improper integrals.

Hint: $sin^2(x)$ is large when $x = k pi + fracpi 2$, which implies that the integral majorates the harmonic series.

Centered at every number of the form $x_k = k pi + fracpi 2$, we can find an interval $I_k$ of size $2delta$ (independent of $k$) such that $sin^2(x) geq 0.99$ for $x in I_k$.

Then $$int_1^infty fracsin^2 xx geq delta sum_k = 0^infty frac0.99k pi + fracpi2 = infty$$

I think of an elementary way to show the crucial convergence of $int_1^infty fraccos(x)xdx$ without referring to the Dirichlet's test (although the idea is similar, i.e., integration by parts).

$$int_1^infty fraccos(t)tdt=fracsin(t)tbigg|_2^infty+int_2^infty fracsin(t)t^2dt$$

And the first term on the right is finite since

$$0leq bigg|fracsin(t)tbigg|leqbigg|frac1tbigg|rightarrow0 text as t rightarrowinfty $$

And the second term on the right converges for a similar reason

$$bigg|fracsin(t)t^2bigg|leqbigg|frac1t^2bigg|quadRightarrowquad int_2^infty bigg|fracsin(t)t^2bigg|dtleqint_2^infty frac1t^2dt=frac12$$
