I am working on a problem in discrete math. Specifically, I must find a closed-form solution to a recurrence relation. I found the sequence of differences and determined that the closed-form solution is a 4th degree equation. As such, I need to find the variables A, B, C, D, and E using the following equations. Unfortunately, I am not very good at basic algebra despite being in computer science.
$$ \begin{cases} 81A + 27B + 9C + 3D + E = 13 \\ 256A + 64B + 16C + 4D + E = 29 \\ 625A + 125B + 25C + 5D + E = 54 \\ 1296A + 216B + 36C + 6D + E = 90 \\ 2401A + 343B + 49C + 7D + E = 139 \\ \end{cases} $$
Reduce the system to four equations involving
four variables by substracting equation 1 from
equation 2, equation 2 from equation 3, equation 3
from equation 4 and equation 4 from equation 5.
What do you get?
