$${A}_{{n}} =\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{0}} ^{{n}} \:{C}_{{n}} ^{{k}} \:\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)^{{k}} −\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{0}} ^{{n}} {C}_{{n}} ^{{k}} \left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{k}} \left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)^{{k}} \\ $$$$=\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{0}} ^{{n}} {C}_{{n}} ^{{k}} \left\{\mathrm{1}−\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{k}} \right\}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)^{{k}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}\sum_{{p}=\mathrm{0}} ^{\left[\frac{{n}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right]} \:{C}_{{n}} ^{\mathrm{2}{p}+\mathrm{1}} \:\:\:\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}{p}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\:\sum_{{p}=\mathrm{0}} ^{\left[\frac{{n}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right]} \:\:{C}_{{n}} ^{\mathrm{2}{p}+\mathrm{1}} \:\mathrm{5}^{{p}} \\ $$
