= Solution

For the positive terms $a_n=n^4/3^n$, the consecutive ratio is
$$
\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=\frac13\left(1+\frac1n\right)^4\longrightarrow\frac13<1.
$$
The <ratio test> therefore proves that \b[the <series> converges absolutely]. More explicitly, for all sufficiently large $n$ the ratio is at most a fixed $q<1$, so the tail is bounded by a convergent <geometric series>.
