Chapter 8 - Section 8.2 - Solving Linear Recurrence Relations - Exercises - Page 524: 1

Answer

a) This is a linear homogeneous. b) This recurrence is not a linear but it is homogeneous. c) This recurrence is a linear homogeneous. d) This recurrence is a linear but not homogeneous. e) This is not linear. f) This is a linear homogeneous. g) This is not a linear homogeneous

Work Step by Step

a) This is a linear homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients of degree 3. b) This recurrence is not a linear becausethe right-hand side is not a sum of previous terms of the sequence each multiplied by a function of $n$. c) This recurrence is a linear homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients of degree 4. d) This recurrence is not homogeneous because there are number 2. e) This recurrence is not linear because the right-hand side is not a sum of previous terms of the sequence each multiplied by a function of $n$. f) This is a linear homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients of degree 2. g) This recurrence is not linear because the right-hand side is not a sum of previous terms of the sequence each multiplied by a function of $n$ And this is not not homogeneous because there are not terms occur that are multiples of the $a_js$
