Let α and β be two real numbers such that α+β=1 and αβ=-1. Let pn=αn+βnpn-1=11 and pn+1=29 for some integer n1. Then, the value of pn2 is______.

Solution

x2-x-1=0 roots =α,β

α2-α-1=0αn+1=αn+αn-1β2-β-1=0βn+1=βn+βn-1                           +                           pn+1=pn+pn-1

29=pn+11

pn=18

pn2=324
