Let n in N be a (non-zero) natural number and let d_1,...,d_n>0 positive real numbers. Assume that sum_(i=1)^n d_i=sum_(i=1)^n d_i^(-1)=n. Does it follow that d_i=1 for all i=1,2,…,n?

Let n N be a (non-zero) natural number and let d 1 , , d n > 0 positive real numbers. Assume that
i = 1 n d i = i = 1 n d i 1 = n .
Does it follow that d i = 1 for all i = 1 , 2 , , n ?

Hint
i = 1 n d i = i = 1 n d i 1 = n i = 1 n d i + d i 1 = 2 n
Now simply use
x + 1 x 2 , x > 0.
