Fibonacci Sequence: N N N 1 N N 2 N

The document defines and provides examples of the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. It explains that each term in the Fibonacci sequence is the sum of the two preceding terms. The golden ratio is the ratio of the longer segment to the whole length when a line is divided into two segments, which is approximately 1.618. Examples are provided to show how numbers in the Fibonacci sequence approach the golden ratio. The document also provides examples of calculating subsequent terms in numeric sequences.

Fibonacci Sequence

Lesson Objectives:
 Describe a Fibonacci sequence; and
 Determine terms in a Fibonacci sequence.
Is a sequence where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms.
Formula: Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 n≥2
Example: 1 Example: 2
0+1=1 0 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 13 , 21 , 34 , 55 , _____
1+1=2
1+2=3 F0 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10
F11
2+3=5
3+5=8 F11 = F10 + F9
5 + 8 = 13 F11 = 55 + 34
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13 F11 = 89

GOLDEN RATIO
Is found when you divide the line in two segment and the ratio between the larger segment and
the smaller segment or vice versa.

Formula: a b
Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 Formula:
Difference equation Longer part a = a+b ratio to the whole length to the larger
part
F n = rn Shorter part b a
Fn-1 = rn-1
Fn-2 = rn-2
Longer part 1+ √ 5 = 1.61803398 approximately

example:
1.) 0,1,1,2,3,5,8
a = 8, b= 5
a 8
= = 1.625 is very closer to the golden ratio 1.61803398
b 5

1, 2, 3 ,5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55

a 55
= = 1.61765 is very closer to the golden ratio 1.61803398
b 34

 No two Fibonacci numbers have a ratio that exactly equals the golden ratio.

2. the sum of the first 15 terms of the series 1, 2, 4, 8,….. is _______________


Solution:

a. Determine what is being asked in the problem.


 In the given problem, the sum of first 15 terms (S15) is asked.
b. Determine what type of series is given
 The given series is a geometric progression
c. Identify the formula to be used.
(1−r n)
Sn = A 1
1−r

d. List all the information that can be derive from the question that can be used as inputs in
the formula
 A1 = 2
4 8
 r= = = 2
2 4
 n = 15
e. apply the given derived from the problem to the formula.

A 1 (1−r n )
sn =
1−r
15
sn = (1)(1−2 )
1−2

sn = 32.767

3. Find the next 3 terms of the sequence 3, 3, 6, 9,


a 1= 3 a 5= 6 + 9 = 15
a 2= 3 a 6= 9 + 15 = 24
a 3= 3 + 3 = 6 a 7= 15 + 24 = 39
a 4= 3 + 6 = 9

 the next three terms are 15, 24, and 39.


3. Find the next three terms of the sequence -1, -1, -2,-3,….

a 1= -1 a 5= -2 + -3 = -5
a 2= -1 a 6= -3 + -5 = -8
a 3= -1 + -1 = -2 a 7= -5 + -8 = -13
a 4= -1 + -2 = -3

 the next three terms are -5, -8, and -13.
