Answer

diverges.

Work Step by Step

To find whether the sequence converges, take the limit as $n$ approaches infinity. $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac {(n+1)!}{n!}$ Change the $(n+1)!$ to $(n+1)\times(n)!$. Therefore, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac {n!(n+1)}{n!}$ $=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} {n+1}=\infty$; limit doesn't exists; therefore, the sequence diverges.
