Math Problem Statement

Solve the febonacci squence f35 golden ratio

Solution

To solve for the 35th Fibonacci number (F35F_{35}) using the golden ratio, we can use Binet's formula. Binet's formula is an explicit formula for the nnth Fibonacci number and is given by:

Fn=ϕn(1ϕ)n5F_n = \frac{\phi^n - (1-\phi)^n}{\sqrt{5}}

where:

  • FnF_n is the nnth Fibonacci number,
  • ϕ=1+52\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} is the golden ratio (approximately 1.61803),
  • 1ϕ=1521 - \phi = \frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2} (approximately -0.61803).

For n=35n = 35, the formula becomes:

F35=ϕ35(1ϕ)355F_{35} = \frac{\phi^{35} - (1-\phi)^{35}}{\sqrt{5}}

Let's calculate this step by step.

  1. Calculate ϕ35\phi^{35}.
  2. Calculate (1ϕ)35(1-\phi)^{35}.
  3. Subtract the second result from the first.
  4. Divide by 5\sqrt{5}.

I'll perform this calculation now.The 35th Fibonacci number (F35F_{35}) calculated using the golden ratio is approximately 9,227,465.
