Write the general form of a linear homogeneous recurrence equation of degree 2.
Consider how n-th term relates to its previous terms.
What is the Fibonacci recurrence relation?
Look at how each term is generated from the two previous terms.
What is a linear homogeneous recurrence relation?
Recall the general form presented in class.
True or False: The characteristic equation is always a quadratic for degree 2 recurrence relations.
Think about the degree of the recurrence.
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.
Substitute n = 0 and n = 1 into the general form to create equations.
Analyze the recurrence relation a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} and prove that it behaves like the Fibonacci sequence.
Look at how each term forms by summing the two preceding terms.
