Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^2-x-1=0$, with $\alpha>\beta$. For all positive integers $n$, define

$a_n=\frac{\alpha^n-\beta^n}{\alpha-\beta}, n \geq 1$

$b_1=1 \text { and } b_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n+1}, n \geq 2.$

Then which of the following options is/are correct?

$(1)$ $a_1+a_2+a_3+\ldots . .+a_n=a_{n+2}-1$ for all $n \geq 1$

$(2)$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n }}{10^{ n }}=\frac{10}{89}$

$(3)$ $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{b_n}{10^n}=\frac{8}{89}$

$(4)$ $b=\alpha^n+\beta^n$ for all $n>1$
