Homework Statement


Assume that z_j is a sequence where j indexes from 1 to infinity are in the complex numbers such that the real part of z > 0. Is it true or false that if sum(z_j) and sum_((z_j)^2) both converge then sum(|z^j|^2) also converges?

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried breaking up z into real and imaginary parts and looking at what has to converge. For example, if z_j=x_j+iy_j, then the sum of x_j and sum of y_j both converge. Not really sure where else to go.

What are the real and imaginary parts of z_j^2?
 
so the real part is x^2-y^2 and the imaginary part is 2xy
 
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...
