Step 1: Solve the homogeneous equation
The homogeneous equation is:
Divide by :
3. , with and
Step 1: Solve the homogeneous equation
The homogeneous equation is:
Since we have a repeated root, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
(We need to use because and are solutions to the homogeneous equation.)
Substitute into the original recurrence relation:
For :
4.
Step 1: Solve the homogeneous equation
The homogeneous equation is:
$ a_n - 4a_{n-1} + 4a_{n-2} = 0$
The characteristic equation is:
Thus, .
The general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
Substituting C
You need the initial conditions to get the value of constants A and B. Since the question doesn't
contain the initial condition I am stopping here.
