Find the general form of a linear non-homogeneous recurrence equation with F(n) = 5n^2. What if this polynomial does not share roots with the characteristic polynomial?
💡 Hint: Consider how the degree of F(n) influences your particular solution guess.
Given F(n) = 3^n, identify how a solution changes if this component becomes a characteristic root with multiple occurrences (say, a root of 3 with multiplicity 2)?
💡 Hint: Reflect on adjustments needed whenever roots are matched.
