A further family of sequences

PURRS Demo Results
Exact solution for x(n) = 9*x(-1+n)+x(-2+n)
for the initial conditions
x(0) = 1
x(1) = 1
x(n) = 1/2*(9/2-1/2*sqrt(85))^n+
+7/170*sqrt(85)*(9/2-1/2*sqrt(85))^n-
-7/170*sqrt(85)*(9/2 +1/2*sqrt(85))^n+
+1/2*(9/2+1/2*sqrt(85))^n
for each n >= 0

Someone misunderstood my "Summer Rules" message.

I am most definitely not on vacation.
