Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the recurrence relation a_n = 4a_{n-1} - 4a_{n-2} with initial conditions a_0 = 2 and a_1 = 10, find the explicit formula and calculate a_2.

💡 Hint: Substitute n = 0 and n = 1 into the general form to create equations.

Question 2
