FORMULA

two methods given ( first): a(n) = -a(n-1)-2a(n-2)+6*a(n-3)

MATHEMATICA

(*first method*) F[1] = 0; F[2] = 1; F[3] = 1; F[n__] := F[n] = -F[n - 1] - 2*F[n - 2] + 6*F[n - 3] a = Table[Abs[F[n]], {n, 1, 50}] (*second method*) M = {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {6, -2, -1}} v[1] = {0, 1, 1} v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1] a = Table[Abs[v[n][[1]]], {n, 1, 50}] Det[M - x*IdentityMatrix[3]]
