EXERCISES

1. Use the definition of Fibonacci numbers to find the eleventh and

twelfth Fibonacci numbers.
a. 11th = 89
b. 12th = 144

2. Use Binet’s formula and a calculator to find the 20th, 30th, and 40th
Fibonacci numbers.
a. 20th = 6,765
b. 30th = 832,040
c. 40th = 102,334,155

ASSESSMENT

Answer the following questions.

1. Determine what comes next in the given patterns.
a. K
b. 12
2. Let Fib(n) be the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence, with Fib(1) = 1, Fib(2) = 1,
Fib(3) = 2, and so on.
a. Find Fib(8)
Fib(4) = Fib(2) + Fib(3)
Fib(4) = 3

Fib(5) = Fib(3) + Fib(4)

Fib(5) = 5

Fib(6) = Fib(4) + Fib(5)

Fib(6) = 8

Fib(7) = Fib(5) + Fib(6)

Fib(7) = 13

Fib(8) = Fib(6) + Fib(7)

Fib(8) = 21

b. Find Fib(19)
Fib(9) = Fib(7) + Fib(8)
Fib(9) = 34

Fib(10) = Fib(8) + Fib(9)

Fib(10) = 55

Fib(11) = Fib(9) + Fib(10)

Fib(11) = 89

Fib(12) = Fib(10) + Fib(11)

Fib(12) = 144

Fib(13) = Fib(11) + Fib(12)

Fib(13) = 233

Fib(14) = Fib(12) + Fib(13)

Fib(14) = 377

Fib(15) = Fib(13) + Fib(14)

Fib(15) = 610

Fib(16) = Fib(14) + Fib(15)

Fib(16) = 897

Fib(17) = Fib(15) + Fib(16)

Fib(17) = 1597

Fib(18) = Fib(16) + Fib(17)

Fib(18) = 2584

Fib(19) = Fib(17) + Fib(18)

Fib(19) = 4181
3. Determine the pattern in the successive sums from the previous question. What will
be the sum of Fib(1) + Fib(2) + ... + Fib(10).
1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21 + 34 + 55 = 143

4. Discuss the importance of mathematics in one’s life.

- The importance of mathematics in our life is that we can apply it anywhere. Mathematics is our
universal language. In fact it is the only language shared by all human being regardless of their
affiliations. It is in this shared language that we get to understand the mysteries of the universe.
Also mathematics as a language is clear and objective. Mathematical language ideas to enhance

one’s ability to correctly read, write, speak, and understand mathematics. Mathematics makes our
life orderly and prevent chaos.

reports.

CHAPTER TEST

1. Draw the image that completes the pattern.

2. What completes the following pattern?

CSD, ETF, GUH, IVJ, KWL
3. What number should come next in this sequence?
22, 21, 25, 24, 28, 27, 31, 30, 34, 33
4. What letter comes next in this pattern?
OTTFFSSENT
5. What number comes next in 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, _____?
216
6. Starting with the first Fibonacci numbers, Fib(1) = 1, and the second Fibonacci number,
Fib(2) = 1, What is the 15th Fibonacci number, Fib(15)?
610
7. What is Fib(20)?
6,765
8. Given Fib(30) = 832,040 and Fib(28) = 317, 811, what is Fib(29)?
514,229

Fib (n+1)
9. The ratio as n gets larger is said to approach the Golden ratio, which is approximately equal
Fib(n)
Fib (n+1)
to 1.618. What happens to the inverse of this ratio, ? What number this quantity approach?
Fib( n)
How does this compare to the original ratio?
TAMAYO, CLAUDINE LAINE C. DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE

Fib (n+1)/ Fib (n) = 1.618 therefore, Fib (n+1)/Fib (n) = 1.618/1 or 1.618
The inverse of Fib (n+1)/Fib (n) = Fib (n)/ Fib (n+1)
Therefore, Fib (n)/Fib(n+1) = 0.618
10. Consider Fib(3)=2. What do you notice about every third Fibonacci number? Similarly, look at Fib(4)
= 3, then Fib(8), Fib(12), Fib(16).... What seems to be the pattern behind these sequences generated from
Fibonacci numbers?
The pattern behind these sequences is you are going to add the present number to previous number. The
pattern is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21
Fib(1)=1
Fib(2)=0+1=1
Fib(3)=1+1=2
Fib(4)=1+2=3
Fib(5)=2+3=5
Fib(6)=3+5=8
Fib(7)=5+8=13
Fib(8)=8+13=21 so on and so forth.
