How to solve $\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty\frac{y^2}{[(x-n\pi)^2+y^2]^{3/2}}$?

I need to solve this sum: $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty\frac{y^2}{[(x-n\pi)^2+y^2]^{3/2}}.$$ Do you have any ideas for how I could do this? I know that this sum: $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty\frac{y}{(x-n\pi)^...

Trigonometric Identities Using De Moivre's Theorem

I am familiar with solving trigonometric identities using De Moivre's Theorem, where only $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ terms are involved. But could not use it to solve identities involving other ratios. ...

Summation of an Infinite Series involving Trigonometry

I came across this summation problem the other day and I am not quite sure how to approach it $$S=\sum_{n=0}^{n=\infty}\frac{2^{n-1}}{3^{2n-2}}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3.2^{n-1}}\right)$$ My approach ...

How to prove this quasi-geometric trigonometric series identity without induction

$$\frac{2}{\sin{x}}\sum_{r=1}^{n-1} \sin{rx}\cos{[(n-r)y]} \equiv \frac{\cos{(nx)}-\cos{(ny)}}{\cos{x}-\cos{y}} - \frac{\sin{(nx)}}{\sin{x}}$$ The identity can be tediously proven using the Axiom of ...
