If `alpha`, `beta` are the roots of the equation `ax^(2)+bx+c=0` and `S_(n)=alpha^(n)+beta^(n)`, then `aS_(n+1)+bS_(n)+cS_(n-1)=(n ge 2)`

A

`0`

B

`a+b+c`

C

`(a+b+c)n`

D

`n^(2)abc`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(a)` `S_(n+1)=alpha^(n+1)+beta^(n+1)`
`=(alpha+beta)(alpha^(n)+beta^(n))-alphabeta(alpha^(n-1)+beta^(n-1))`
`=-(b)/(a)*S_(n)-(c )/(a)*S_(n-1)`
