  How do you solve f(3) when f(-1) = -1 and f(0) =1 and f(x) =f(x-1)-2f(x-2)?

f(x)=f(x−1)−2f(x−2)  replace x−2 by x we get  2f(x)=f(x+1)−f(x+2)    (1) x=−1⇒2f(−1)=f(0)−f(1)  ⇒−2=1−f(1); f(1)= 3    (2)x=0⇒2f(0)=f(1)−f(2)  ⇒2 = 3−f(2); f(2)=1    (3)x=1⇒2f(1)=f(2)−f(3)  ⇒6 = 1−f(3); f(3)=−5
f(x)=f(x1)2f(x2)replacex2byxweget2f(x)=f(x+1)f(x+2)(1)x=12f(1)=f(0)f(1)2=1f(1);f(1)=3(2)x=02f(0)=f(1)f(2)2=3f(2);f(2)=1(3)x=12f(1)=f(2)f(3)6=1f(3);f(3)=5
