1. Use either the Direct Comparison Test (DCT) or the Limit Comparison Test (LCT) to determine whether the series sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{n^2 + 2n}{sqrt{n^6 + n - 1}} converges or diverges

Step 1
We can use the Limit Comparison Test (LCT) to compare our given series with the harmonic series. To apply the LCT, we need to find the limit of the ratio of the terms of the two series as $n$ goes to infinity: $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{n^2 + 3n + 2}{n^3 Show more…
