Open in App
Solution

The Fibonacci sequence is given by

1= a 1 = a 2

The n th term of the sequence is given as,

a n = a n1 + a n2 (1)

Substitute n=3 in equation (1),

a 3 = a 31 + a 32 = a 2 + a 1 =1+1 =2

Substitute n=4 in equation (1),

a 4 = a 41 + a 42 = a 3 + a 2 =2+1 =3

Substitute n=5 in equation (1),

a 5 = a 51 + a 52 = a 4 + a 3 =3+2 =5

Substitute n=6 in equation (1),

a 6 = a 61 + a 62 = a 5 + a 4 =5+3 =8

For n=1,

a n+1 a n = a 1+1 a 1 = a 2 a 1 = 1 1 =1

For n=2,

a n+1 a n = a 2+1 a 2 = a 3 a 2 = 2 1 =2

For n=3,

a n+1 a n = a 3+1 a 3 = a 4 a 3 = 3 2

For n=4,

a n+1 a n = a 4+1 a 4 = a 5 a 4 = 5 3

For n=5,

a n+1 a n = a 5+1 a 5 = a 6 a 5 = 8 5
