Since $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{\arctan x}{x}=1$, we have
\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\arctan{\frac{n+1}{n^2+5}{}}}{\frac{1}{n}}=\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\arctan{\frac{n+1}{n^2+5}{}}}{\frac{n+1}{n^2+5}}\times \frac{\frac{n+1}{n^2+5}}{\frac{1}{n}}\]
\[ =\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{n+1}{n^2+5}}{\frac{1}{n}}=1. \]
By limit comparision theorem, since $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n}$ diverges, the infinite series $$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\arctan \frac{n+1}{n^2+5}$$ also diverges.
