Polynomial roots & Mathematical induction
hi i have this homework question and I am not sure if my thought process is valid. The Question: let a, b and c be roots of the polynomial equation: x^3+px+q=0 and S(n)=(a^n)+(b^n)+(c^n) now prove: that for S(n)= -p(S(n-2))-q(S(n-3)) for n>3my attempt: ------------- first off...- ben9703
