[Calc II] Comparison Theorem

RESOLVED

Use the comparison theorem to find out if the integeral of ((1+x)^0.5)dx/(x^(2/3)) from 0 to 3 converges or diverges.

I've used 1/x^(2/3) and 1/x^(-1/6) and saw that they are less than the original integral from 0 to 3. However, they converge on that interval, so they lead me nowhere. I don't know another possible function to compare the original to.
