Math Problem Statement

what sequence is this 1,1,2,3,5,8?

Solution

The sequence you provided: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 is known as the Fibonacci sequence.

In the Fibonacci sequence, each number (after the first two) is the sum of the two preceding ones:

  • Start: 1, 1
  • Next: 1 + 1 = 2
  • Then: 1 + 2 = 3
  • Then: 2 + 3 = 5
  • Then: 3 + 5 = 8

The pattern continues indefinitely following this rule.
