For the non-homogeneous recurrence an=3an−1−2an−2+2na_n = 3a_{n-1} - 2a_{n-2} + 2^nan​=3an−1​−2an−2​+2n, the homogeneous part has characteristic equation r2−3r+2=0r^2 - 3r + 2 = 0r2−3r+2=0 with roots r=1r = 1r=1 and r=2r = 2r=2.

Since 222 is a characteristic root, what form should the particular solution an(p)a_n^{(p)}an(p)​ take?
