Question 1

What is the general form of a linear non-homogeneous recurrence equation?

  • a(n) = c_1*a(n-1) + c_2*a(n-2) + F(n)
  • a(n) = F(n)
  • a(n) = 2*a(n-1)

💡 Hint: Look for the version that includes both previous terms and F(n).

Question 2

True or False: A homogeneous equation does not include any function F(n).

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the definitions we've discussed.
