How to evaluate the following limit?
$$lim_{n to infty} sum_{k=1}^n frac{n+k}{n^3+k}$$
I think that every term of the sum is greater than the first one and smaller than the last one and then from the squeeze theorem the limit is $0$. However, I can't prove that inequality.

This should work:
$$sum_{k=1}^nfrac{n+k}{n^3+k}leqsum_{k=1}^nfrac{n+k}{n^3}leqsum_{k=1}^nfrac{n+n}{n^3}=frac{2n^2}{n^3}=frac{2}{n}to0$$
Also, every term is $geq 0$ so $0$ is also a lower bound.

HINT:
Note that $n+1le n+kle 2n$ and $n^3+1le n^3 +kle n^3+n$.
