A recurrence with complex roots is defined by an=2an−1−2an−2a_n = 2a_{n-1} - 2a_{n-2}an​=2an−1​−2an−2​ with a0=0,a1=1a_0 = 0, a_1 = 1a0​=0,a1​=1. The characteristic equation r2−2r+2=0r^2 - 2r + 2 = 0r2−2r+2=0 has roots r=1±ir = 1 \pm ir=1±i. In polar form, r=2e±iπ/4r = \sqrt{2} e^{\pm i\pi/4}r=2​e±iπ/4. Using Euler's formula, the closed form is an=(2)nsin⁡(nπ/4)a_n = (\sqrt{2})^n \sin(n\pi/4)an​=(2​)nsin(nπ/4). What is the absolute value of a6a_6a6​?
