p_n =a^n +b^n +c^n   p_1 =e_1 =4  p_2 =e_1 p_1 −2e_2  ⇒10=4×4−2e_2  ⇒e_2 =3  p_3 =e_1 p_2 −e_2 p_1 +3e_3  ⇒22=4×10−3×4+3e_3  ⇒e_3 =−2  p_4 =e_1 p_3 −e_2 p_2 +e_3 p_1 =4×22−3×10−2×4=50  ...  a, b, c are roots of  r^3 −4r^2 +3r+2=0  (r−2)(r^2 −2r−1)=0  r_1 =2, r_(2,3) =1±(√2)  i.e. (a,b,c)=(2,1+(√2),1−(√2))  ⇒p_n =2^n +(1+(√2))^n +(1−(√2))^n

Sir,how −2 come in ′ p_2 =e_1 p_1 −2e_2  ′   (3rd line)?

generally  p_n =e_1 p_(n−1) −e_2 p_(n−2) +e_3 p_(n−3) −...+(−1)^n e_(n−1) p_1 +(−1)^(n+1) ne_n   see Newton′s identities.    certainly we can also check it:  (a+b+c)^2 =a^2 +b^2 +c^2 +2(ab+bc+ca)  e_1 p_1 =p_2 +2e_2   ⇒p_2 =e_1 p_1 −2e_2

$${generally} \\ $$$${p}_{{n}} ={e}_{\mathrm{1}} {p}_{{n}−\mathrm{1}} −{e}_{\mathrm{2}} {p}_{{n}−\mathrm{2}} +{e}_{\mathrm{3}} {p}_{{n}−\mathrm{3}} −...+\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} {e}_{{n}−\mathrm{1}} {p}_{\mathrm{1}} +\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} {ne}_{{n}} \\ $$$${see}\:{Newton}'{s}\:{identities}. \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${certainly}\:{we}\:{can}\:{also}\:{check}\:{it}: \\ $$$$\left({a}+{b}+{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\left({ab}+{bc}+{ca}\right) \\ $$$${e}_{\mathrm{1}} {p}_{\mathrm{1}} ={p}_{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{e}_{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{p}_{\mathrm{2}} ={e}_{\mathrm{1}} {p}_{\mathrm{1}} −\mathrm{2}{e}_{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
