\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & f(x)=f(x-2)-f(x-1),\ x\in \mathbb{N} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & f(1)=0,f(2)=1 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & f(10)=? \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i m looking for a short way

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

x∈N so f(x)∈N you can see f(x) as \[a_n\] so now \[a_{n}=a_{n-2}-a_{n-1}\\a_2=1\\a_1=0\\\] charachteristic equation \[t^2=1-t\\t^2+t-1=0\\a_n=A t_1^n +B t_2^n\]

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

find roots and apply initial condition you will have the closed formula for it

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i didnt understand how u found this \(t^2=1-t\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

nor i have studied characteristic equation

oh ... i can't help you ,for fast method sorry
