If $A$ is context-free then $A^*$ is regular
Let $A=\{a^nb^n \mid n \in \mathbb{N}\}$. Then we know that $A$ is non-regular and context-free. Also we can see that $A^*\cap a^*b^*=A$. Since $a^*b^*$ is a regular expression, we do know that it is …

Proof that $L=\{a^ncb^n| n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ is not regular
Proof:
Lets assume L is regular. Then we know that L must meet the requirements of the pumping lemma.
So let p the pumping number.
Let $w=a^pcb^p$. $w$ is obviously of the length p and is in L. Theref …
