Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For the recurrence relation T_n = T_{n-1} + T_{n-2}, identify the roots and derive the general solution.
💡 Hint: Start with the characteristic polynomial and factor it.
Given T_n = 2 T_{n-1} + T_{n-2} with the initial conditions T_0 = 1 and T_1 = 2, find T_n for n = 5.
💡 Hint: Work through the constants based on initial value equations.
