#Confused on the integral test

Ln(infinity) is infnity?
It's hard to read, but it looks like your mistake is here
the original has the form 1/n^2, and you end up with something of the form 1/n
When doing the limit test, you don't actually need to solve the limit. You can use inequalities as long as they go in the correct direction.
(n-1)/(n^3+1) < 1/n^2 for example
Dont you have to do partial fractions to find the integral kd n-1/n^3 +1
you don't actually care about the value of that integral
you only care whether it's finite or infinite
and you can get that from the right inequality
