Convergent and Divergent problem

If I have (a_n + b_n)^n = c_n where a_n is convergent and b_n divergent. Is c_n then divergent?

And what if a_n and b_n were divergent, would c_n be divergent also?

but what if they were both convergent then surely c_n is convergent right?

I can't see a rule or a theorem that tells me this is correct and frankly it is getting on my nerve.

Somebody here who knows? :smile:

Thanks.

Hve u tried an epsylon- delta proof? I think it might work.
 
No conclusion is possible for the convergence of c_n.

a_n=b_n=0
a_n=b_n=1
a_n=0, b_n=(-1)^n \times \frac{1}{4}
a_n=1, b_n=(-1)^n
a_n=b_n=(-1)^n
a_n=b_n=(-1)^n \times \frac{1}{4}
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
