If S_1=1,S_2=8 and S_n=S_n-1+2S_n-2 whenever n≥2. Show that S_n=3⋅2n−1+2(−1)n for all n≥1.
Snezhnost [94]

You can try to show this by induction:

• According to the given closed form, we have S_1=3\times2^{1-1}+2(-1)^1=3-2=1, which agrees with the initial value <em>S</em>₁ = 1.

• Assume the closed form is correct for all <em>n</em> up to <em>n</em> = <em>k</em>. In particular, we assume

S_{k-1}=3\times2^{(k-1)-1}+2(-1)^{k-1}=3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}

and

S_k=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k

We want to then use this assumption to show the closed form is correct for <em>n</em> = <em>k</em> + 1, or

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{(k+1)-1}+2(-1)^{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}

From the given recurrence, we know

S_{k+1}=S_k+2S_{k-1}

so that

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 2\left(3\times2^{k-2}+2(-1)^{k-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^{k-1}+2(-1)^k + 3\times2^{k-1}+4(-1)^{k-1}

S_{k+1}=2\times3\times2^{k-1}+(-1)^k\left(2+4(-1)^{-1}\right)

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k-2(-1)^k

S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)(-1)^k

\boxed{S_{k+1}=3\times2^k+2(-1)^{k+1}}

which is what we needed. QED
