Suppose that each pair of a genetically engineered species of rabbits left on an island produces two new pairs of rabbits at the age of 1 month and six new pairs of rabbits at the age of 2 months and every month afterward. None of the rabbits ever die or leave the island. Find a linear homogeneous recurrence relation of degree 2 for an that is the number of pairs of rabbits on the island n months after one newborn pair is left on the island. Find a3. (Note that ao = 1, a₁ = 3.)
