Math Problem Statement

find the sum of the terms of Fibonacci Sequence between f124 and f149, provide the correct answer

Solution

To find the sum of the terms of the Fibonacci sequence between F124F_{124} and F149F_{149}, we can use the following approach.

Step 1: Use the Fibonacci identity for the sum of terms

The sum of the first nn terms of the Fibonacci sequence, SnS_n, is given by:

Sn=Fn+21S_n = F_{n+2} - 1

Where Fn+2F_{n+2} is the (n+2)(n+2)th Fibonacci number.

Step 2: Calculate the sum between F124F_{124} and F149F_{149}

The sum of the terms from F124F_{124} to F149F_{149} is:

S=F150F124S = F_{150} - F_{124}

Using the identity for the sum of Fibonacci terms:

S149=F1511andS123=F1251S_{149} = F_{151} - 1 \quad \text{and} \quad S_{123} = F_{125} - 1

So, the sum of the terms from F124F_{124} to F149F_{149} is:

S=(F1501)(F1241)=F150F124S = (F_{150} - 1) - (F_{124} - 1) = F_{150} - F_{124}

Step 3: Use Binet's Formula for Fibonacci Numbers

Using Binet's formula:

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

where ϕ=1+52\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} (the golden ratio), we calculate F150F_{150} and F124F_{124}.

However, these numbers are extremely large, and direct computation would require very high precision.

Step 4: Numerical Computation

Given that calculating directly might be cumbersome and involves large numbers, I will compute it using software tools that handle large Fibonacci numbers.

Let's compute F150F124F_{150} - F_{124}.The sum of the Fibonacci sequence terms from F124F_{124} to F149F_{149} is 9,969,179,950,448,597,880,435,149,860,7579,969,179,950,448,597,880,435,149,860,757.
