Solution

The image shows an activity where you are tasked with continuing a Fibonacci spiral. The sequence starts at 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The Fibonacci numbers start as follows:

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

In this case, you need to continue the Fibonacci sequence and stop once n=30n = 30 is reached.

The steps are:

  1. The first two numbers are 11 and 11 (these are already assumed to be the first values).
  2. The next number in the Fibonacci sequence is calculated as the sum of the last two numbers:

1+1=21 + 1 = 2

  1. Continuing the pattern, each number is the sum of the last two numbers:

    • 1+2=31 + 2 = 3
    • 2+3=52 + 3 = 5
    • 3+5=83 + 5 = 8
    • 5+8=135 + 8 = 13
    • 8+13=218 + 13 = 21
    • 13+21=3413 + 21 = 34

As seen in the image, we have 13,21,3413, 21, 34 visible. We now continue:

  1. 21+34=5521 + 34 = 55
  2. 34+55=8934 + 55 = 89
  3. 55+89=14455 + 89 = 144
  4. 89+144=23389 + 144 = 233
  5. 144+233=377144 + 233 = 377
  6. 233+377=610233 + 377 = 610
  7. 377+610=987377 + 610 = 987
  8. 610+987=1597610 + 987 = 1597
  9. 987+1597=2584987 + 1597 = 2584
  10. 1597+2584=41811597 + 2584 = 4181
  11. 2584+4181=67652584 + 4181 = 6765
  12. 4181+6765=109464181 + 6765 = 10946
  13. 6765+10946=177116765 + 10946 = 17711
  14. 10946+17711=2865710946 + 17711 = 28657
  15. 17711+28657=4636817711 + 28657 = 46368
  16. 28657+46368=7502528657 + 46368 = 75025
  17. 46368+75025=12139346368 + 75025 = 121393
  18. 75025+121393=19641875025 + 121393 = 196418
  19. 121393+196418=317811121393 + 196418 = 317811
  20. 196418+317811=514229196418 + 317811 = 514229
  21. 317811+514229=832040317811 + 514229 = 832040

At this point, we have completed up to n=30n = 30 where F(30)=832040F(30) = 832040.
