C. Answer the following question

1. What is Fibonacci and what did he do?

- He introduces the sequence with a problem involving
rabbits in the 13th century. Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci
also known as Leonardo of Pisa is an Italian -
mathematician and was born in Pisa, Italy on around
1170 A.D.. He is also considered to be the most
talented western mathematician of the middle age.

2. Why did Fibonacci became famous?

- He started with a male and a female rabbit. After a
month, they mature and produce a litter with another
male and female rabbit. A month later, those rabbits
reproduce and out comes another male and female,
who also can mate after a month. The formula used to
get to that answer is what's now known as the
Fibonacci sequence.
3. Starting with the first Fibonacci number, Fib (1) = 1 and
the second Fibonacci number Fib (2) = 1, what is the
15th Fibonacci number, Fib (15)?

F 15=F 14+ F 13
F 15=( f 13+ f 12 ) + f 13
F 15=( 233+144 ) +233
F 15=377+233
F 15=610

4. Given Fib (30) = 832,040 and Fib (28) = 307,811, what is

Fib (29) =?

F 29=F 30−F 28
F 29=832 ,040−307 , 811
F 29=524 , 229

5. How many pairs of rabbit will there be from the month of

May to December?
- From the month of May to December there will be a
total of 144 pair of rabbits.
