Math Problem Statement

make a list of numbers. each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. start with the numbers 0 and 1 then follow the rule to build a sequence of numbers

Solution

The sequence you are describing is known as the Fibonacci sequence. It starts with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Here's how the sequence looks:

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. 1 (0 + 1)
  4. 2 (1 + 1)
  5. 3 (1 + 2)
  6. 5 (2 + 3)
  7. 8 (3 + 5)
  8. 13 (5 + 8)
  9. 21 (8 + 13)
  10. 34 (13 + 21)
  11. 55 (21 + 34)
  12. 89 (34 + 55)
  13. 144 (55 + 89)
  14. 233 (89 + 144)
  15. 377 (144 + 233)

Would you like to see more numbers in the sequence, or do you have any questions?
