@Otto Bretscher , we really liked your comment, and have converted it into a solution. If you subscribe to this solution, you will receive notifications about future comments.
I did the same. Fine solution sir
This is a rather weird approach, but I'll give it a try, anyway....
f ( x ) is the imaginary component of the complex function g ( x ) = n = 0 ∑ ∞ 3 n e i ( 2 n + 1 ) x .
The terms of this series are in geometric progression, as the common ratio is 3 e i 2 x , the absolute value of which is 3 1 . So treating this series as a "normal" infinite geometric series, its sum will be
g ( x ) = 1 − 3 e i 2 x e i x = 3 − e i 2 x 3 e i x = 3 e − i x − e i x 3 .
Plugging in x = 3 π , we end up with
g ( 3 π ) = 3 ( cos ( 3 π ) − i ∗ sin ( 3 π ) ) − ( cos ( 3 π ) + i ∗ sin ( 3 π ) ) 3 =
2 3 − i ∗ 2 3 3 − 2 1 − i ∗ 2 3 3 = 1 − i ∗ 2 3 3 ∗ 1 + i ∗ 2 3 1 + i ∗ 2 3 = 1 3 3 + i ∗ 6 3 .
Since f ( x ) is the imaginary component of g ( x ) , we see that f ( 3 π ) = 1 3 6 3 , and so
A + B + C = 6 + 3 + 1 3 = 2 2 .

Is there any other way to find general term i.e for any x other than complex numbers
Log in to reply
The general term is 3 k 1 sin ( ( 2 k + 1 ) x ) ... what else do we need? ;)

@Otto Bretscher – I meant summation of that , for any x.
@Otto Bretscher – Sir Kindly See My Solution . I Have Found A General Solution For Any x . Is It Correct? i will be grateful to you
Here is my calculus free approach
Call the summation to be S
1 S = 1 sin x + 3 sin 3 x ⋯
We Use The Traditional Method Of Shifting Terms in AGP
3 S = 3 sin x + 9 sin 3 x ⋯
Subtracting These We Get
3 2 S = sin x + 3 s i n 3 x − s i n x + 9 s i n 5 x − s i n 3 x ⋯
Applying The Relevant Trigonometric Identity
3 2 S = sin x + 3 2 × s i n x × c o s 2 x + 9 2 × s i n x × c o s 4 x ⋯
Now From Every Term We Take 2sinx Common
3 2 S = sin x + 2 × sin x ( 3 c o s 2 x + 9 c o s 4 x + ⋯ )
Now i will evaluate the cosine series separately
Let
1 Z = 3 c o s 2 x + 9 c o s 4 x + 2 7 c o s 6 x + ⋯
Again we apply the method of shifting the terms
3 Z = 9 c o s 2 x + 2 7 c o s 4 x + ⋯
Subtracting
3 2 Z = 3 c o s 2 x + 9 c o s 4 x − c o s 2 x + 2 7 c o s 6 x − c o s 4 x + ⋯
Again applying the relevant trigonometric identity
3 2 Z = 3 c o s 2 x − 9 2 × s i n 3 x × s i n x − 2 7 2 × s i n 5 x × s i n x + ⋯
Multiplying by 3 And taking 2sinx common
1 2 Z = cos 2 x − 2 × s i n x ( 3 s i n 3 x + 9 s i n 5 x + ⋯
And to our suprise the series inside the bracket is the series asked to us (S)
So we can write
1 2 Z = cos 2 x − 2 × s i n x × ( S − sin x )
Also we have the relation
3 2 S = sin x + 2 × s i n x × Z
Solving the system of equations above simultaneously we get the value of S
Finally on simplification and applying identities
We get
1 S = 1 + 3 × s i n 2 x 3 × s i n x
You need to show that they form an AGP, which is not obvious.

I never said that they form an AGP . I only tried to evaluate the sum using shifting of terms method as there is no restriction in mathematics that we use a particular method only if they form an AGP .

Oh sorry, misread. Was confused by your phrasing. Can you type it in LaTeX? I think your solution is great too (albeit a slightly longer one).

@Pi Han Goh – Well i dont know anything about latex! . can you help me?

@Prakhar Bindal – You can start with this one !
For example, your line of "S/3 = sinx/3+ sin3x/9 ............" can be converted into
3 S = 3 sin x + 9 sin 3 x + ⋯
Here's the code:

Remove the space between " \ " and " [ ", same goes for " \ " and " ] ".

@Prakhar Bindal – sure no problem!! It's super easy to learn L A T E X . Extra tip: click your profile picture, then click "toggle latex" to disable the LaTeX display, so you can see how to type them out manually.

@Pi Han Goh – Hey i have tried to edit solution a bit . please see it ! and suggest something
Log in to reply
@Prakhar Bindal – Haha so far so good! This is already very good for a beginner! Great work!
A few advice: it should be "\sin" and not "sin". And you don't need to write × for 2 × sin 2 x × sin x , 2 sin 2 x sin x should be sufficient.

By Trigonometric Periodicity Identities , we observe that for x = 3 π ,
sin ( x ) = sin ( 7 x ) = sin ( 1 3 x ) = ⋯ = 2 3 ,
sin ( 3 x ) = sin ( 9 x ) = ⋯ = 0 , and
sin ( 5 x ) = sin ( 1 1 x ) = ⋯ = 2 − 3 .
So the series becomes
2 3 ( 1 + 3 3 1 + 3 6 1 + . . . . . − 3 2 1 − 3 5 1 . . . ) = 2 3 ( 2 6 2 7 − 2 6 3 ) = 1 3 6 3
The penultimate step can be solved by applying the Geometric Progression Sum with common ratio, r = 1 / 3 3 .
