Solving Linear Recurrence Relations
Find the solution to each of these recurrence relations and initial conditions. Use an iterative approach such as that used in Example $10 .$ a) $a_{n}=3 a_{n-1}, a_{0}=2$ b) $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+2, a_{0}=3$ c) $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+n, a_{0}=1$ d) $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+2 n+3, a_{0}=4$ e) $a_{n}=2 a_{n-1}-1, a_{0}=1$ f) $a_{n}=3 a_{n-1}+1, a_{0}=1$ g) $a_{n}=n a_{n-1}, a_{0}=5$ h) $a_{n}=2 n a_{n-1}, a_{0}=1$
