MHB Integral Test: Analyzing 1/(n+1)^x with x > 1

[brunette15]

Hi,
I am trying to use an integral test on the following series:

The sum from n=0 to infinity on 1/(n+1)^x where x>1

I know the process of using the integral test however i am unsure as to how to evaluate the integral with the x in the series :/

Thanks in advance!

Maybe using $x$ confuses you. Try putting $x=a$, what do you have? Can you write down your attempt?

Yes i think using x was a little confusing. I was able to get it thankyou!
