Convergence test for a series

Let S = $sum_{n=1}^{infty}{frac{n^k}{((n^3+n)^{frac{1}{3}}-n)}},forallspacespacespacespace kinmathbb{Z}.$ Say if this series converge of diverge.




My attempt:



$$S=sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(n^3+n)^{frac{2}{3}}+n(n^3+n)^{frac{1}{3}}+n^2}{n^{1-k}}$$



Ratio test in undecisive, and Raabe-Duhmal test gave me again $1$ so what test should I use? It is clear that the general term of these series $to0$ iff $1-k<2implies k>1$ and divergent for $k<1$.

            May be, you could start considering that, for large values of $n$,
            $$(n^3+n)^{frac{2}{3}}+n(n^3+n)^{frac{1}{3}}+n^2=3 n^2+1-frac{2}{9 n^2}+Oleft(frac{1}{n^4}right)$$
