Discrete Math II - 8.2.3 General Case Linear Homogeneous Recurrence Relations

Now that we are familiar with solving second-order homogeneous recurrence relations, we extend our methods to higher-order homogeneous recurrence relations. You will find the methodology to be the same as in the last video. However, if you are out of practice on either solving polynomials of degree 3 or greater or solving systems of 3 or more equations, you may need to spend some time on the additional videos I've linked below (or other videos you may find on the subject).

** You MUST watch video 8.2.2 before watching this video in order for this video to make sense! ***

You're amazing! You're the reason why I'll pass my exam. This channel is literally underrated!

For anyone who's struggling with the linear algebra portion if you have a ti-84 just create a matrix of 3x4 with all the values and use the rref function within the matrix math tab

I appreciate the through help but could you explain the substitution method for the dummies .I cant figure out how to get the same answers with three variables.
