If I have [tex](a_n + b_n)^n = c_n[/tex] 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 [itex]c_n[/itex].

[tex]a_n=b_n=0[/tex]
[tex]a_n=b_n=1[/tex]
[tex]a_n=0, b_n=(-1)^n \times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]a_n=1, b_n=(-1)^n[/tex]
[tex]a_n=b_n=(-1)^n[/tex]
[tex]a_n=b_n=(-1)^n \times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
