If F is function such that F (0) = 2, F(1) = 3, F(x + 2)= 2F(x) - F(x + 1) for x > 0, then F(5) is equal to

We have,
F(x + 2) = 2F(x) - F(x+1) ...(i)
Putting x = 0, we get
F(2) = 2F(0) - F(1)
Putting x = 1, in Eq. (i), we get
F(3) = 2F(1) - F(2)
= 2(3) - 1 { F(1) = 3, F(2) = 1}
F(3) = 5
Putting x = 2, in Eq. (i), we get
F(4) = 2F(2) - F(3)
= 2(1) - 5 { F(2) = 1, F(3) = 5}
F(4) = - 3
Putting x = 3,in Eq. (i), we get
F(5) = 2F(3) - F(4)
= 2(5) + 3 { F(3) = 5, F(4) = - 3}
F(5) = 13
