We have to find :    such that 

 

 

 

 

Adding these three :

 

 

except 1st terms all terms are 0 since they follow an+2 = 3an+1 + 2an

 

 

we know a1 = 1 and a2 = 1. Expand RHS and compare coefficients of xn to find out the analytical expression for an ( feeling a bit lazy so didn't do till last step :D )
