Math Problem Statement
using Binet's formula, find F35/5
Solution
To find using Binet's Formula, we can proceed as follows:
Binet's Formula for Fibonacci numbers:
where:
- (the golden ratio),
- (the conjugate of the golden ratio).
Now, let's calculate and then divide it by 5.
Step 1: Calculate and
Since is a small negative number, will be very close to zero, so we can often approximate by ignoring for large .
Step 2: Apply Binet's Formula
We can approximate this, calculate , and then divide by 5.
Let me calculate that.Using Binet's formula, we find that:
