The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given series and determine the condition under which its sum to infinite terms is finite. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Series**: The series given is: \[ S = \cos x + \frac{2}{3} \cos x \sin^2 x + \frac{4}{9} \cos x \sin^4 x + \ldots \] 2. **Recognize the Pattern**: We can observe that the series can be expressed in a form that resembles a geometric progression (GP). The first term \( A_1 \) is \( \cos x \) and the second term \( A_2 \) is \( \frac{2}{3} \cos x \sin^2 x \). 3. **Determine the Common Ratio**: The common ratio \( r \) of the GP can be calculated as: \[ r = \frac{A_2}{A_1} = \frac{\frac{2}{3} \cos x \sin^2 x}{\cos x} = \frac{2}{3} \sin^2 x \] 4. **Condition for Finite Sum**: For the sum of an infinite geometric series to be finite, the common ratio \( r \) must satisfy: \[ |r| < 1 \] Therefore, we require: \[ \left| \frac{2}{3} \sin^2 x \right| < 1 \] 5. **Analyze the Range of \( \sin^2 x \)**: The function \( \sin^2 x \) varies between 0 and 1 for all \( x \). Thus: \[ 0 \leq \sin^2 x \leq 1 \] Multiplying by \( \frac{2}{3} \): \[ 0 \leq \frac{2}{3} \sin^2 x \leq \frac{2}{3} \] 6. **Check the Condition**: Since \( \frac{2}{3} \) is less than 1, we have: \[ 0 \leq \frac{2}{3} \sin^2 x < 1 \] This condition holds true for all \( x \) in the interval \( -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \). 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the sum of the series is finite for all values of \( x \) in the range: \[ -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The sum to infinite terms of the series is finite for all \( x \) in the interval \( -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \). ---
