Question Number 95014 by I want to learn more last updated on 22/May/20

If      y_(n  +  1)   −  y_n    =   6,       and     y_0   =   7  Find     y_n

This is an arithmetic progression:  y_0 =7  y_(n+1) =y_n +6  firzt term 7  common difference=6  y_n =7+n6

Sir, with  y_n   =  a + (n − 1)d,  i did not get it.    y_n   =  7  +  (n − 1).6  =  7 + 6n − 6  =  6n + 1

Sir,withyn=a+(n1)d,ididnotgetit.yn=7+(n1).6=7+6n6=6n+1

And sir  for     y_(n − 2)  + y_(n − 1)  + y_n   =  0  auxilliary equation is:    x^2  + x + 1  =  0    What of      y_(n  +  2)   +  y_(n  +  3)   +  y_(n  − 1)   +  y_n   =  0  what is the auxilliary equation

“you want to learn more” sir:  try to learn things one after an other!  if you are still at the level for AP,  forget at first “auxilliary equation”.  back to your original question:  you should make clear what you mean  with “n”. if you say y_n =6n+1, but  you gave your first term y_0 , then  you are wrong, since y_0 =6×0+1=1≠7.  correct is y_n =6n+7. so never just  learn a formula, but learn what is  behind it!

But i got the question from the auxilliary equations

You may want to just do a internet  search on “recurrence relation”.  You will find some general techinques  on how to solve recurrence relation.  Sometime you have to do a variable  subtituion to convert to linear  recurrence (ex. Q93173)

I can express negative base like     y_(n − 2)  + y_(n − 1)   but i cannot find aucilliary of        y_(n + 2)   +  y_(n  +  3)  + ... for positive base and negative together.

What matter is a difference say  for example  y_(n+2) =5y_n +3y_(n+1)   Subtitue n=n−2  y_n =5y_(n−2) +3y_(n−1)
