Math Problem Statement
Find the first 4 terms of the Fibonacci sequence Fn = Fn-2 + Fn-1 if n ≥ 2
Solution
The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation:
With the initial conditions typically given as:
Using this recurrence relation, we can find the first four terms of the Fibonacci sequence:
- : By definition,
- : By definition,
- : Using the formula
- : Using the formula
So, the first four terms of the Fibonacci sequence are:
