answer this with solution

Give the correct answer by following the instruction: Let Fib (n) be the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence, with Fib (1) = 1, Fib (2) = 1, Fib (3) = 2, and so on.

Solution

Let's break down and answer each part of the problem on the image you uploaded, focusing on the Fibonacci sequence. Here is a solution step-by-step.


Fibonacci Sequence:

The Fibonacci sequence is defined as:

  • Fib(1) = 1
  • Fib(2) = 1
  • Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2) for n > 2.

1. Find Fib(8)

Fib(8) = Fib(7) + Fib(6)

  • Fib(7) = Fib(6) + Fib(5)
  • Fib(6) = Fib(5) + Fib(4)
  • Fib(5) = 5 (from the known sequence)

Calculation:

  • Fib(8) = 21

2. Find Fib(19)

  • Through continued calculation of the sequence or using a formula: Fib(19) = 4181.

3. If Fib(22) = 17,711 and Fib(24) = 46,368, what is Fib(23)?

Since Fib(23) = Fib(24) - Fib(22),

  • Fib(23) = 46,368 - 17,711 = 28,657.

4. Evaluate the sums:

a. Fib(1) + Fib(2)

  • Fib(1) + Fib(2) = 1 + 1 = 2

b. Fib(1) + Fib(2) + Fib(3)

  • Fib(3) = 2, so:
  • 1 + 1 + 2 = 4

c. Fib(1) + Fib(2) + Fib(3) + Fib(4)

  • Fib(4) = 3, so:
  • 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 7

5. Determine the pattern and sum up to Fib(10)

Pattern: Each sum is the next Fibonacci number minus 1. So, for Fib(10):

  • Fib(10) = 55.
  • The sum is Fib(10 + 2) - 1 = Fib(12) - 1 = 144 - 1 = 143.

6. Evaluate the products:

a. Fib(3) x Fib(5)

  • Fib(3) = 2, Fib(5) = 5, so:
  • 2 × 5 = 10.

b. Fib(4) x Fib(1)

  • Fib(4) = 3, Fib(1) = 1, so:
  • 3 × 1 = 3.

c. Fib(3) x Fib(5) + Fib(2)

  • 10 + Fib(2) = 10 + 1 = 11.

7. Find Fib(15)

Fib(15) = 610.

8. Find Fib(20)

Fib(20) = 6765.

9. If Fib(30) = 832,040 and Fib(28) = 317,811, what is Fib(29)?

Fib(29) = Fib(30) - Fib(28) = 832,040 - 317,811 = 514,229.

10. What is Fib(8)?

We found earlier that Fib(8) = 21.
