Determine if the positive term series is convergent or divergent
$$
\sum^{\infty}_{n = 1} \frac{n + cosn}{n^3 + 1}$$
can't I just ignore the cosn and look at it like this:
$$\sum^{\infty}_{n = 1} (-1)^n \frac{n}{n^3 + 1}$$
Then can't I just look at it as n--> $$\infty$$ and see that I end up with $$\frac{1}{n^2}$$ essentially and then say that it converges by the P SERIES
