Prove that $a_n>100$ when $n>10$ (linear recurrent sequence) Consider the sequence defined by $a_0=a_1=1$ and $a_{n}=2a_{n-1}-3a_{n-2}$.

Here, a proof is given that $|a_n|\to +\infty $. I would like to prove that $|a_n|&gt;100$ when $n&gt;10$. How can we do it ? (Also, is there an explicit lower bound for the sequence $|a_n|$ ?)

The first terms :

Explicit formulas :

\begin{align}
a_n&amp; =\frac{(1+i\sqrt2)^n+(1-i\sqrt 2)^n}{2}\\ 
&amp;=(\sqrt3)^n\cdot \cos(n\cdot \theta)
\end{align}
where $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt 2)$.
hint

$$T_n (\cos (\theta))=\cos (n\theta) $$
where $T_n $ is the Tchebychev polynomial.
hint

$$T_n (\cos (\theta))=\cos (n\theta) $$
