Use LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_1=-1 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_2=-2 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_n=-1a_{n-1} -2a_{n-2} to find LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_{5}

Finding the next term in the sequence gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_3=(-1)(-1)+(-2)(-2)=5
LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_{4}=(-1)(-2)+(-2)(5)=-8 .
LaTeX:  \displaystyle a_{5}=(-1)(5)+(-2)(-8)=11 .
