Abstract
In this paper we derive the explicit formula for the term of order of the
 -Fibonacci and -Lucas sequences and also get the well-known Cassini’s
identity using some tools of linear algebra. The Binet’s formulas of both
sequences are also deduced from the diagonalization of the respective generating
matrices.
