U_n =2−(1/(1+n^2 ))  the rest you should know.
$${U}_{{n}} =\mathrm{2}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+{n}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${the}\:{rest}\:{you}\:{should}\:{know}. \\ $$

I think the series is divergent simply   because A series cannot be convergent  unless it is ultimately tends to zero  lim_(n→0) U_n =0 converges  and is not equals zero

Is U_n =((1+2n^2 )/(1+n^2 )) a sequence (or progression)  and the series we′re talking about is  S_n =Σ_(k=0) ^n U_k  or is U_n =Σ_(k=0) ^n a_k =((1+2n^2 )/(1+n^2 )) and we  don′t know (and don′t need) a_n ?  In the 1^(st)  case S_∞ =+∞ (divergent), in the  2^(nd)  case U_∞ =Σ_(k=0) ^∞ a_k =2 (convergent).
