For a second-order recurrence an=c1an−1+c2an−2a_n = c_1 a_{n-1} + c_2 a_{n-2}an​=c1​an−1​+c2​an−2​ with characteristic roots r1=2r_1 = 2r1​=2 and r2=−3r_2 = -3r2​=−3, what are the coefficients c1c_1c1​ and c2c_2c2​? (Use Vieta's formulas: r1+r2=c1r_1 + r_2 = c_1r1​+r2​=c1​ and r1⋅r2=−c2r_1 \cdot r_2 = -c_2r1​⋅r2​=−c2​.)
