Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^2-x-1=0$, with $\alpha>\beta$. For all positive integers $n$, define
$a_n=\frac{\alpha^n-\beta^n}{\alpha-\beta}, n \geq 1$
$b_1=1 \text { and } b_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n+1}, n \geq 2.$
Then which of the following options is/are correct?
$(1)$ $a_1+a_2+a_3+\ldots . .+a_n=a_{n+2}-1$ for all $n \geq 1$
$(2)$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n }}{10^{ n }}=\frac{10}{89}$
$(3)$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{b_n}{10^n}=\frac{8}{89}$
$(4)$ $b=\alpha^n+\beta^n$ for all $n>1$
The two roots of an equation ${x^3} - 9{x^2} + 14x + 24 = 0$ are in the ratio $3 : 2$. The roots will be
If $x$ is real, the expression $\frac{{x + 2}}{{2{x^2} + 3x + 6}}$ takes all value in the interval
If $x, y$ are real numbers such that $3^{(x / y)+1}-3^{(x / y)-1}=24$ then the value of $(x+y) /(x-y)$ is
Let $a, b, c$ be non-zero real numbers such that $a+b+c=0$, let $q=a^2+b^2+c^2$ and $r=a^4+b^4+c^4$. Then,
