### Problem Description

**Sequence Definitions:**

Let $\{a_k\}$ be a sequence of real numbers and sequences $\{b_k\}$ and $\{c_k\}$ be defined by the following rules:

\[
b_k =
\begin{cases}
a_k & \text{if } a_k > 0 \\
0 & \text{if } a_k \leq 0
\end{cases}
\quad \text{and} \quad
c_k =
\begin{cases}
-a_k & \text{if } a_k < 0 \\
0 & \text{if } a_k \geq 0
\end{cases}
\]

**Statements to Prove:**

(a) Prove that, for each $ k \in \mathbb{N} $, $b_k - c_k = a_k$ and $b_k + c_k = |a_k|$.

(b) Prove that, if $\sum a_k$ converges conditionally, then $\sum b_k$ and $\sum c_k$ both diverge.

### Explanation of Problem Components

**Sequences $\{a_k\}$, $\{b_k\}$, $\{c_k\}$:**
- The sequence $\{a_k\}$ is any sequence of real numbers.
- The sequence $\{b_k\}$ includes only the positive values from $\{a_k\}$ and sets everything else to 0.
- The sequence $\{c_k\}$ includes the negative values from $\{a_k\}$ as positive (since $c_k = -a_k$) and sets everything else to 0.

### Detailed Steps

**Part (a):**

1. **To show $b_k - c_k = a_k$:**
- If $a_k > 0$, then
- $b_k = a_k$,
- $c_k = 0$,
- Thus, $b_k - c_k = a_k - 0 = a_k$.
- If $a_k \leq 0$, then
- $b_k = 0$,
- $c_k = -a_k$ (note: $-a_k$ is
