Compare to the divergent series,


\displaystyle\sum_(n=1)^\infty\frac1n

Then by the limit comparison test, the given series also diverges, since the limit


\displaystyle\lim_(n\to\infty)((2n^5-1)/(n^6+1))/(\frac1n) = \lim_(n\to\infty)(2n^6-n)/(n^6+1)=\lim_(n\to\infty)\frac{2-\frac1{n^5}}{1+\frac1{n^6}}=2

is positive and finite.
