A. Using the fibonacci sequence , observe the following and state the rule

1. What can you say about every third term?

Answer:
Base on my observation about the every third number of a fibonacci sequence we
can obtain the 3th term by the means of adding all of the 3 term before it, then subtract
the 1st term and by doing that we can now get the 3th term. Example we have 3,5,
8,and 13. all we need to do is to add those three numbers which is 3+5+8= 16-3
(which is the 1st term ) so we got 13.

2. What can you say about every fourth term?

Answer:
Base on my obeservation about the every fourth term of a fibonacci sequence we
can obtain the 4th term by the means of adding all of the 3 term before it, then subtract
the 1st term and by doing that we can now get the 4th term. Example we have 34,55,
89,and 144. all we need to do is to add those three numbers which is 34+55+89=
178-34 (which is the 1st term ) so we got 144.

3. Choose any four consecutive fibonacci numbers. Add the first and last , and divide
by two. What do you notice? Can you explain it?
Answer:
Four consecutive number : 5, 8, 13, 21
First number is 5 and the last number is 21 so 5 +21= 26. then 26 divide 2 is = 13.
I notice that whenever we add the first number and the last number then divide it by
two the answer is always be the third number of a four consecutive fibonacci
sequence that you choose.

Answer:
1. State the rule
The rule in the fibonacci sequence is that when we add the first and the third number
we can the next sequence. We can obtain the 3rd ,4th ,5th term and so on by adding the
given term, then subtracting it using the first term we can the the value of 3rd , 4th, 5th
term and etc.

2. Show/ verify by example

We can obtain the 5th term by the means of adding all of the 3 term before it,
then subtract the 1st term and by doing that we can now get the 5th term.

For example we have 233,377, 610,and 987. all we need to do is to add those
three numbers which is 233+377+610= 1220-233 (which is the 1st term ) so we got
987

Another example , we have 987,1597,2584,4181. We add the 1ST ,2ND,and 3rd

number or term. Which is 987+1597+2584=5168- 987(which is the 1st term ) and it is
equal to 4181.
