Showing how this infinite sum diverges

66 Views Asked by At

$\displaystyle{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[\left( 1 + {1 \over n}\right)^{n} - {\rm e}\right]}$

I tried both root and ratio tests (for the root test, the expression became way too complex to handle) but both didn't really work out.

Would there be an easy way of showing that this diverges?
