Question:rsolve for recursive equation

HI MaplePrimes,

The input -

rsolve(f(n)=f(n-1)+10*f(n-2),f(k))

returns a large expression.

My had calculations reduce this to

f(k) = [(41-19*sqrt(41))/820]*[((1-sqrt(41))/2)^k+((1+sqrt(41))/2)^k)].

There may be an error.

We let f(1)=1 and f(2)=2.

The sequence, starting with 1 should read -

1,2,12,32,152,472,...

What is the correct expression for f(k)?

 

Regards,

Matt
