Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the recurrence relation T(n) = 4T(n-1) - T(n-2) with initial conditions T(0) = 1, T(1) = 2, derive T(5).

💡 Hint: Work step by step, substituting previous results until you find T(5).

Question 2

Prove that for the recurrence T(n) = 3T(n-1) with T(0) = 1, the sequence converges to a unique solution by induction.

💡 Hint: Use the assumption to show how it holds for the subsequent term as well.
