Does anybody know if this statement is true?

\sum fn converges absolutely and uniformly on S if ( fn) converges uniformly.

Also if R is the radius of convergence and |x|< R does this imply uniform and absolute convergence or just absolute convergence.

Suppose fn converges uniformly to something other than 0.

The phrase "radius of convergence" only applies to power series and, in that case, the series converges both absolutely and uniformly inside the radius of convergence.
 
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...
