Question Number 92557 by I want to learn more last updated on 07/May/20

If   a_1   =  5,     a_2   =  13     and    a_(n  +  2)    =  5a_(n  +  1)  −  6a_n .  Find     a_n

$$\mathrm{If}\:\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{1}} \:\:=\:\:\mathrm{5},\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\:=\:\:\mathrm{13}\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{and}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}\:\:+\:\:\mathrm{2}} \:\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{5a}_{\mathrm{n}\:\:+\:\:\mathrm{1}} \:−\:\:\mathrm{6a}_{\mathrm{n}} . \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{n}} \\ $$

a_(n+2) −5a_(n+1) +6a_n =0  characteristic equation.  λ^2 −5λ+6=0  λ=2,3  a_n =c_1 2^n +c_2 3^n   a_1 =5  2c_1 +3c_2 =5  a_2 =13  4c_1 +9c_2 =13  ⇒c_1 =1,c_2 =1  a_n =2^n +3^n

$${a}_{{n}+\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}{a}_{{n}+\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{6}{a}_{{n}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{characteristic}\:\mathrm{equation}. \\ $$$$\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}\lambda+\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\lambda=\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${a}_{{n}} ={c}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}^{{n}} +{c}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{3}^{{n}} \\ $$$${a}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{c}_{\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{3}{c}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${a}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{13} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}{c}_{\mathrm{1}} +\mathrm{9}{c}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{13} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{c}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{1},{c}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${a}_{{n}} =\mathrm{2}^{{n}} +\mathrm{3}^{{n}} \\ $$
