Let start with the condition given e a n + n a n = 2
The exponential part is increasing and in the second part n is increasing.But the total value is always constant So, a n should have a decreasing value.Then a n is a decreasing sequence. i.e. a n > a n + 1 .
If a n < 0 ⟹ e a n < 1 and n a n < 0 .So e a n + n a n < 1 that contradicts with the question.So, a n > 0 .
The sequence a n is decreasing and bounded below.So it is a convergent sequence.The limiting value will be the infimum value of the set .
So, lim n → ∞ a n = 0
Taking limits in the condition we get e lim n → ∞ a n + lim n → ∞ n a n = 2
So, lim n → ∞ n a n = 1 .
e a n + n a n = 2 ⟹ e a n − 1 = 1 − n a n
Now lim n → ∞ n ( 1 − n a n ) = lim n → ∞ n ( e a n − 1 ) = lim n → ∞ a n e a n − 1 × lim n → ∞ n a n = 1 × 1 = 1
