Use any convergence test to determine whether the series converges or diverges. Explain how the series meets the hypotheses of the test you select.

The image shows a mathematical expression representing an infinite series:

\[
\sum_{k=3}^{\infty} \frac{k+1}{(k-2)^3}
\]

This series begins with \( k = 3 \) and extends to infinity. The general term of the series is given by the expression:

\[
\frac{k+1}{(k-2)^3}
\]

In this expression:

- \( k \) is the variable of summation.
- The numerator \( k+1 \) increases linearly as \( k \) increases.
- The denominator \( (k-2)^3 \) is a cubic expression, which grows rapidly as \( k \) increases.

The series explores the sum of these terms from \( k = 3 \) to infinity. This type of series can be analyzed for convergence or divergence using various mathematical tests.
