Integral test:
Let f(x) is positive decreasing continuous function on [k,) and f(n)=an then
If kf(x)dx is convergent then n=kan is also convergent.
If kf(x)dx is divergent then n=kan is also divergent.
So we can use integral test in given function.
Given that
n=11(2n+3)3
Integral test:
Here f(x)=1(2n+3)3 so
11(2n+3)3dx=1(2x+3)3dx=12[(2x+3)22]1
=14[1(2x+3)2]1
=14[1250]
=1100
Which is finite, so 11(2x+3)3dx is convergent
Since 11(2x+3)3dx is convergent so using integral test n=11(2n+3)3 si also convergent.
