given 2 unknown number series {an}^{infinity}_{n=1} and {bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}, if it is know that {an}^{infinity}_{n=1}=infinity and {bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}=K,
K=constant unknown

what can be said about
{an+bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}
{an*bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}


i think that
{an+bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}= infinity, since:
{an+bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}={an}^{infinity}_{n=1}+{bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}= infinity + K = infinity

as for {an*bn}^{infinity}_{n=1}, i don't think anything can be said for sure, since K could be a number or 0,

am i right?? is there a proper mathematical way to write this?

Partially right.
If K=0 it's usually undefined, but if K>0 then K*infinity=infinity and if K<0 then... what can you say it equals to?

If you need to check the definitions there they are:
1. a_n=infinity iff for every M>0 there exists N such that for every n>N a_n>M
2. a_n=-infinity iff for every M<0 there exists N such that for every n>N a_n<M.
 
i am asked is Cn converges when
Cn=An+Bn,---> does not converge

Cn=AnBn--->if |Bn|>0 - does not converge
but if Bn=0, then it is undefined, so what does that mean, diverge/converge/something else??
 
Well, now when I think of it if Bn=0, and An->infinity then AnBn->0 because AnBn=0 for every natural n.
If the question were, Bn->0 but not indetically 0, then it's undefined.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
