Consider the following second-order linear homogeneous difference equation with constant coefficients and two initial conditions:
un+26un+1+9un=0, u0=1, u1=9
Determine the sequence u2, u3, u4, u5. Solve the difference equation for un and use the result to check for u5

Given second order linear homogeneous difference equation
un+26un+1+9un=0, u0=1, u1=9
un+2=6un+19un (1)
Now u2=6u19u0=699(1)=45
u3=6u29u1=64599=27081=189
u4=6u39u2=6189945=729
u5=6u49u3=67299183=2673
we seek solution of equation (1) a1Un=γn where γn constant putting in equation(1), we get
γn+2=6γn+1aγn
Dividing both sides are γn we get
γ2=6γa or γ26γ+a=0
γ23γ3γ+a=0
γ(γ3)3(γ3)=0
γ=3,3
Since the solution is
un=c13n+c2n3n to n=0,1,2,
Now
u0=11=c1+c2030c1=1
u1=aa=c13+c23c1+c2=3c2=2
Hence
un=3n+2n3n is a particular solution
and ut=3t+2(t)3t=2673
