Homework Statement



I need to examine convergence of series with a term Un given below.

The solution is given, but I can't understand what happens between row 2 and row 3.
What kind of operation is that, does it have something in common with Taylor series expansion?

It is exactly the taylor series expansion of [tex]\left(1+\frac{1}{n^3}\right)^{1/3}[/tex]
 
BTW, you don't need to know it by heart. You expand it using the Taylor Expansion formulas for fractional powers.
