1. Suppose we randomly choose nonnegative integers $x_1, \, x_2, \, x_3, \, \text{and } x_4$ that solve the equation $x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 10.$ We assume that each solution has an equal probability of being chosen. Given that at least one of $x_1$ and $x_2$ is equal to $2,$ what is the probability that $x_2 = 2?$ (15%)

3. Solve the following recurrence relation:

$$3a_n – 6a_{n-1} – 3a_{n-2} + 6a_{n-3} = 0$$

with $a_0 = 1, \, a_1 = 0, \, a_2 = 7.$ (10%)

參考解答：$a_n = \dfrac{-5}{2} + \dfrac{3}{2}(-1)^n + 2^{n+1}, \, n \geq 0.$
