Dose #sum ((n^2+3)/(2+n^2))^(n^3)# with #n = 0 -> # infinity converge ?

No.

Explanation:

Use the n-th term test:

For any integer #n#, #(n^2+3)/(2+n^2)# will always be greater than 1.

Therefore, #((n^2+3)/(2+n^2))^(n^3)# will always be greater than 1 for any positive integer #n#.

This means that we can be sure that:

#lim_(n->oo)((n^2+3)/(2+n^2))^(n^3) >= 1#

Which means that #lim_(n->oo)((n^2+3)/(2+n^2))^(n^3) != 0# for sure.

The series fails the n-th term test, and therefore diverges.
