Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

The problem asks for Fib(29)\text{Fib}(29), given:

Fib(30)=832,040andFib(28)=317,811.\text{Fib}(30) = 832,040 \quad \text{and} \quad \text{Fib}(28) = 317,811.

Using the Fibonacci sequence property:

Fib(n)=Fib(n1)+Fib(n2),\text{Fib}(n) = \text{Fib}(n-1) + \text{Fib}(n-2),

we know that:

Fib(30)=Fib(29)+Fib(28).\text{Fib}(30) = \text{Fib}(29) + \text{Fib}(28).

Substitute the known values:

832,040=Fib(29)+317,811.832,040 = \text{Fib}(29) + 317,811.

Now, solve for Fib(29)\text{Fib}(29):

Fib(29)=832,040317,811=514,229.\text{Fib}(29) = 832,040 - 317,811 = 514,229.

Thus, Fib(29)=514,229\text{Fib}(29) = 514,229.
