Solution for a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2) equation:


Simplifying
a(n) = a(n + -1) + a(n + -2)

Multiply a * n
an = a(n + -1) + a(n + -2)

Reorder the terms:
an = a(-1 + n) + a(n + -2)
an = (-1 * a + n * a) + a(n + -2)
an = (-1a + an) + a(n + -2)

Reorder the terms:
an = -1a + an + a(-2 + n)
an = -1a + an + (-2 * a + n * a)
an = -1a + an + (-2a + an)

Reorder the terms:
an = -1a + -2a + an + an

Combine like terms: -1a + -2a = -3a
an = -3a + an + an

Combine like terms: an + an = 2an
an = -3a + 2an

Solving
an = -3a + 2an

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3a' to each side of the equation.
3a + an = -3a + 3a + 2an

Combine like terms: -3a + 3a = 0
3a + an = 0 + 2an
3a + an = 2an

Add '-2an' to each side of the equation.
3a + an + -2an = 2an + -2an

Combine like terms: an + -2an = -1an
3a + -1an = 2an + -2an

Combine like terms: 2an + -2an = 0
3a + -1an = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'a'.
a(3 + -1n) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(3 + -1n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -1n = 0 Solving 3 + -1n = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -1n = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -1n = 0 + -3 -1n = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -1n = -3 Add 'n' to each side of the equation. -1n + n = -3 + n Combine like terms: -1n + n = 0 0 = -3 + n Simplifying 0 = -3 + n The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Solution

a = {0}
