\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ n }{ 8n^{3}+6n^{2}-7 }\] which test can be used to show the series converges?

compare with 1/n^2
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
n/(8n^3+6n^2-7) <= 1/n^2 and 1/n^2 converges by p series thus by comparison...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the p series test is the best one to use?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
no comparison test, is the test being used.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, it's asking which is the best one to use?

comparison test is the answer
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
do you know what the comparison test is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the limit comparison test, you set the n to infinity and see where it goes?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
we have sum(a_n)
if a_n <= b_n for all n and sum(b_n) converges then sum(a_n) converges
and since sum(1/n^2) converges, so does your sum(a_n)
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
where a_n = n/(8n^3....)
