**7. Mathematical Problem:**

Suppose \(\lim_{{n \to \infty}} n a_n = A \neq 0\) where \(a_n\) is not necessarily nonnegative. Prove that the series 

\[
\sum_{{n=1}}^{\infty} a_n 
\]

diverges.

---

In this problem, you are given a sequence \(a_n\) with the condition that the limit of the product of this sequence and \(n\) approaches a non-zero constant \(A\) as \(n\) approaches infinity. The task is to demonstrate that the infinite series formed by summing the terms \(a_n\) diverges.
