Does the Series \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n+2^n}{n+3^n}\) Converge or Diverge?

The sum is $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n+2^n}{n+3^n}$$ Is this convergent or divergent? I tried to use the divergent test but the test fail because $a_n = (n+2^n)/(n+3^n) = 0 $ as $n$ goes to infinity. Could someone point me to the right direction?

Thanks

What are some other tests that you know? Can you apply any of them?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
