About LinkBacksI have a problem that says
Find an explicit formula for an if a0=0 and an+1=an+2^n
Can I convert this equation to
an=-an+1-2^n?
then keep solving as if it were a non-homogeneous equation?
Sorry for my lack of use of latex.

No you need to find the solution to the homogeneous equation (take away 2^n) then try to find a particular solution (try) and then add these two together. Once you have do this all you need to do is solve for the initial conditions, it's just like solving a linear non-homogeneous 1st-order differential equation,
