Let $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^\infty\in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be a sequence of polynomials given by the following expressions $$ f_n(x,y)=\sum_{i=0}^{[\dfrac{n}{2}]}(-1)^{n-i}{{n-i}\choose i}x^{n-2i}y^i. $$ Let $(f_n,f_{n+1})$ denote the ideal generated by $f_n,f_{n+1}$. Let $h(n)$ be the smallest positive integer such that $x^{h(n)}\in (f_n,f_{n+1})$. I want to prove $h(n)=2n-1$. The result is tested by computer "sagemath". I do not know how to prove it? My attempt: Step~1. By Euclid Algorithm, I have proved $x^{2n-1} \in (f_n,f_{n+1})$. Hence $h(n)\leq 2n-1$. Step~2. Let $k$ be an arbitrary positive integer such that $x^k\in (f_n,f_{n+1})$. I want to prove $k\geq 2n-1$. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/T2nEc.jpg
