GAIC Math 2024 Problem 37

  • Answer

Let α\alpha and β\beta be the two roots of the equation x2−x−1=0x^2 - x - 1 = 0. Define αn=αn−βnα−β\alpha_n = \frac{\alpha^n - \beta^n}{\alpha - \beta} for n=1,2,…n = 1, 2, \ldots. For some positive integers aa and bb, with a<ba < b, if for any positive integer nn, bb divides an−2nana_n - 2na^n, then the sum of all such positive integers bb is \underline{\hspace{2cm}}.
