Question 1

Which term describes the part of the recurrence equation that contributes external factors?

  • Homogeneous Part
  • Non-Homogeneous Part
  • Characteristic Equation

💡 Hint: Look for the component that does not derive from previous terms.

Question 2

True or False: The associated homogeneous relation is obtained by maintaining F(n).

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember that we're simplifying the equation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
