Solve the recurrence relations together with the initial conditions given: a) a_n = a_{n-1} for n ≥ 1 and a_0 = 2. b) a_n = - 4 a_{n-1} - 4 a_{n-2} for n ≥ 2 and a_0 = 0, a_1 = 1. c) a_n = 4 a_{n-2} for n ≥ 2 and a_0 = 0, a_1 = 4. a) The solution is given by: a_n = for all n. b) The solution is given by: a_n = for all n. c) The solution is given by: a_n = for all n.
