If $ sumlimits_{n=1}^{N} a_n r_n=0$, what can we say about $ sumlimits_{n=1}^{N} a_n (r_n)^2=0$












1












$begingroup$


If $displaystyle sum_{n=1}^{N} a_n r_n=0$ for every natural $N$ where $a_nin mathbb{R}$ and $r_nin(0,1]$, can we conclude anything significant about $displaystyle sum_{n=1}^{N} a_n (r_n)^2,displaystyle sum_{n=1}^{N} a_n (r_n)^3.. $?



EDIT: The related and completed question is in my new post here: (Find constants $b_i$ such that $sum_{n=1}^{N} a_n (sum_{n=1}^{t} b_i[r_n-(r_n)^2]+s(i))=0$)

    If $sum_{n=1}^{N}{a_nr_n}=0$ for every $N$, doesn't that mean $a_Nr_N=0$ for every $N$?
