Consider if $int_1^infty[ln(1+frac1x)-sin(frac1x)]text dx $ converges.



I took a substitution $t=frac1x $. Turn it into considering if $int_0^1fracln(1+t)-sin(t)t^2text dt $ converges.

And now since $lim_tto0 fracln(1+t)-sin(t)t^2=-frac12 $, then it has no singular point hence it's an ordinary integrate. It follows that it converges.

Is it right ? Or any test would be more convenient?

          That works, although I think perhaps the best way to think about this is in terms of Taylor series. $ln(1 + 1/x) = 1/x + O(1/x^2)$ and $sin(1/x) = 1/x + O(1/x^3)$, so $ln(1 + 1/x) - sin(1/x) = O(1/x^2)$; since $int_1^infty 1/x^2 ,dx < infty$, the integral converges.
