(a) Suppose 
is a solution for this recurrence, with 
. Then
So we expect a general solution of the form
With
, we get four equations in four unknowns:
So the particular solution to the recurrence is
(b) Let
be the generating function for 
. Multiply both sides of the recurrence by 
and sum over all 
.
From here you would write each term as a power series (easy enough, since they're all geometric or derived from a geometric series), combine the series into one, and the solution to the recurrence will be the coefficient of, ideally matching the solution found in part (a).
