Simple series question. $sum_{n=0}^infty frac{1}{((n^5)+1)^frac{1}{3}}$

$begingroup$
I think this converges due to direct comparison with $frac{1}{n^{5/3}}$ but I can't double check this anywhere.

You're on the right track. What exactly does the direct comparison test say, and how can you prove it's true that $a_n leq b_n$

I thought that considering there was a plus 1 in the denominator of the problem question it would always be smaller than 1/n^5/3 so since 1/n^5/3 converges due to the p-test and is bigger than a similar smaller function know that the smaller converges as well do to direct comparison. Do you agree?

Right.
$(n^5+1)^{1/3}
gt (n^5)^{1/3}
=n^{5/3}
$
so the sum converges by the $p$-test:
$sum dfrac1{n^p}$
converges for
$p > 1$
(easily proved by the
integral test)
and diverges for
$p le 1$.
