Problem

A student applies the ratio test to the series ∑n=1∞nn2+1\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{n^{2}+1} and obtains a limit of 11, which is inconclusive. Indicate a different convergence test that will resolve the behavior of the series and briefly explain, in one sentence, why it succeeds where the ratio test fails.
