27: There is just one trouble, at zero. There is only one obvious inequality, the given function can be estimated from below by ignoring the 1 in the denominator. Unfortunately, the resulting test function gives a convergent integral (the test function is continuous on [0,1]), so no conclusion is possible.

The only hope is now the Limit Comparison test. Since the exponential is rather annoying, one can ask: How does it look like when x is close to 0? From the Taylor series we know that for x near zero,

e x ∼ 1 + x + x2/2+...

and therefore

e x2 ∼ 1 + x2 + x4/2+...

Use this to set up a limit comparison around zero.
