The series diverge

The series is

#sum_(n=1)^oo(3n+7)/(2n^2-n)=sum_(n=1)^oo(3n)/(2n^2-n) + sum_(n=1)^oo7/(2n^2-n)#

#sum_(n=1)^oo(3n)/(2n^2-n)=3sum_(n=1)^oo(1)/(2n-1)=3/2sum_(n=1)^oo1/(n)#

This series diverge.

#sum_(n=1)^oo7/(2n^2-n)=7sum_(n=1)^oo1/(2n^2-n)#

This series converge as

#int_1^oo(dn)/(2n^2-1)=[ln(|2n-1|)-ln(n)]_0^oo=ln(2)#

Conclusion :

#" diverge + converge " = " diverge"#
