Given that the general solution of the homogeneous recurrence relation  is

Find the general solution of the following recurrence relations

 

 

 

Do NOT use

This will give

 

 

… That didn't help!

 

Use

 

Thus we obtain

General solution is then

 

 

 


Try



Cancel out the factor  to get

 

Thus

 

General solution is now

 

 


Try

Since  shares a term with the solution  of the homgeneous equation, we use

 

This gives

 

Cancel out the factor

 

Thus

 

 


 won't work, as it shares the same term of the homogeneous equation

 

So use,

 

Cancel the factor  from both sides
