The series is absolutely convergent.

Explanation:

We know that:

#abs (sinx) <=1# for any #x in RR#

Then:

#abs (sink)/((k+1)!) <= 1/((k+1)!)#

Now we can prove that the series:

#sum_(n=0)^oo 1/((k+1)!)#

is convergent using the ratio test, as:

#lim_(k->oo) (1/((k+2)!))/(1/((k+1)!)) = lim_(k->oo) ((k+1)!)/((k+2)!) = lim_(k->oo) 1/(k+2) = 0#

and then by direct comparison also the series:

#sum_(n=0)^oo abs (sink)/((k+1)!)#

is convergent,
