How do you use the direct Comparison test on the infinite series #sum_(n=2)^oon^3/(n^4-1)# ? Calculus Tests of Convergence / Divergence Direct Comparison Test for Convergence of an Infinite Series 1 Answer Wataru Sep 8, 2014 Since #n^3/{n^4-1} geq n^3/n^4=1/n# for all #n geq2# and #sum_{n=2}^infty1/n# is a harmonic series, which is known to be divergent, we may conclude that #sum_{n=2}^inftyn^3/{n^4-1}# also diverges by Direct Comparison Test.
