\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{ n }{ 5n^3 +2}\] For a problem like this, I dont need to use Integral test right? I can just check the sequence? \[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ n }{ 5n^3+2 } = \frac{ \frac{ n }{ n } }{ \frac{ 5n^3 }{ n } +\frac{ 2 }{ n }}=\frac{ 1 }{ 5n^2 }\] And the sequence approaches 0, which can also be verified through P-series? Amiright?

@itz_sid What is the question? Check convergence?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Determine whether it is Divergent or Convergent

OpenStudy (mathmate):

For convergence, you can compare term by term with n/5n^2. Each term is smaller of n/(5n^3+2) is smaller than n/5n^3 Since n/5n^3=1/5n^2 is convergent absolutely, so will the given series.

Oh I see. okay thanks!

You're welcome! :)
