1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I'm wondering if I can use this kind of logic to solve:

\sum\frac{(n+1)^n}{n^{(n+1)}} Converges or diverges

3. The attempt at a solution

\frac{(n+1)^n}{n^{(n+1)}} \geq \frac{(n)^n}{n^{(n+1)}}

And

\frac{(n)^n}{n^{(n+1)}} = n , which diverges

Therefor:

\sum\frac{(n+1)^n}{n^{(n+1)}} Diverges

Yes. So long as it's true for all n and n > 0.
