======================================================================== Subject: Recurrence Relation Problem ======================================================================== Here is the problem that I presented at the end of the lecture on 11/23: Find the "explicit" solution of this recurrence relation: a_n = 2a_(n-1) + 3a_(n-2) with these initial conditions: a0 = 4 a1 = 5 I suggested that you write out the first few terms of the sequence, to see if you can spot the pattern, and then to apply the algorithm form today's lecture. I will post the answer at the end of the Thanksgiving break.
