Solving recurrence $X_n = 4X_{n-1}+5$












1












$begingroup$


$X_n=4X_{n-1}+5$



How come the solution of this recurrence is this?



$X_n=frac834^n+frac53$



I also have that $X_0=1$.



I am using telescoping method and I am trying to solve it like this:



$X_n= 5 + 4X_{n-1}$



$X_n= 5 + 4(5+4X_{n-2})$



$X_n= 5 + 4times5 + 4times4times X_{n-2}$



But this leads to me getting $5times4^{n-1}times4^n$.



Can some please explain this to me?

If you calculate the first few terms explicitly, you will find that the $n$th term is the sum of an exponential and a geometric series. For example,



$$
X_3 = 4^3 + 5(4^2+4+1).
$$
So in general,
$$
X_n = 4^n + 5sum_{k=0}^{n-1}4^k = 4^n +5frac{1-4^n}{1-4},
$$



which should simplify to the answer you gave.

Let $x_m=y_m+aimplies y_0=x_0-a=1-a$



$$5=x_n-4x_{n-1}=y_n+a-4(y_{m-1}+a)=y_n-4y_{n-1}-3a$$



Set $-3a=5iff a=?$ so that $y_n=4y_{n-1}=cdots=4^ry_{n-r},0le rle n$



$r=nimplies y_n=4^ny_0=4^n(1-a)$

    This is a difference equation and it can be solved using Z-Transform. Take Z-transform of both sides of the equation and then use the initial condition. Ultimately, you will get Z-transform of X and then take its inverse z-transform to get the solution.
