Math Problem Statement
a1=0 a2=1, an-1 +an-2
Solution
This sequence is defined recursively with initial conditions and a rule:
-
Initial terms:
-
Recursive formula:
- for .
This is the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two preceding ones.
The first few terms are calculated as follows:
- And so on.
Would you like me to calculate more terms, or explore the properties of this sequence?
- What are some applications of the Fibonacci sequence in nature?
- How can we find a general formula for the -th term in the Fibonacci sequence?
- What is the golden ratio, and how is it related to the Fibonacci sequence?
- Can you explain the recursive nature of the Fibonacci sequence with a visualization?
- What are examples of similar sequences in mathematics?
Tip: Fibonacci numbers grow rapidly, and their ratio converges to the golden ratio .
