Given the recurrence relation a(n) = 2a(n-1) + 3a(n-2) with a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 2, find the explicit formula for a(n).
💡 Hint: Set up the characteristic equation from the recurrence relation.
If a sequence is defined as a(n) = a(n-1) + 5a(n-2) and you know a(2) = 7, a(3) = 12, derive the next term a(4).
💡 Hint: Think about how each term builds on the last two.
