Is Your Time Series Stationary or Not?

Moved from a technical forum, so homework template missing
Hello, I'm trying to solve this, any idea please?

Basically: Demonstrate for the next three processes if the Time Series would be stationary, if not, it should establish the conditions for it to be stationary.

Thanks

You'll have to show us what you have tried.
 
Also, are \phi and \theta just numbers? I assume that \epsilon_n is a given time-series. Is that correct?

Do you understand that the question does NOT ask you to solve the equations, just determine the conditions under which the solution is "stationary"- constant. For example, the second equation, Y_t= \epsilon_t+ \theta \cdot \epsilon_{t-1} has Y_n stationary if and only if \epsilon_ t is itself stationary,

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...
