Answer

$\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} (a_k \pm b_k) =\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k \pm \Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty}b_k$; converges

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} (a_k \pm b_k)=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (a_k \pm b_k)$ or, $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} (a_k \pm b_k)=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_k \pm \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} b_k$ or, $\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} (a_k \pm b_k) =\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k \pm \Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty}b_k$ We can say that if the series $\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} (a_k \pm b_k)$, then the series $\Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k \pm \Sigma_{k=1}^{\infty}b_k$ converges as well.
