Application: Perform what is being asked in the following:

1. Given the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …

Evaluate the sum: Fib (1) + Fib (2) + Fib (3) + Fib (4) = 7
Fib ( 1 ) + F ib ( 1 ) + Fib ( 2 ) + Fib ( 3 )
1+1+2+3=7

2. Given the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …

Evaluate the sum: Fib (1) + Fib (3) + Fib (5) = 8
Fib ( 1 ) + Fib ( 2 ) + Fib ( 5 )
1+2+5=8

3. If the sixth term of an arithmetic sequence is 107 with a common

difference 11, what is the first term of the sequence?
Formula: Tn=a+ ( n−1 ) d Solution: 107=a+5(11)
Given:T 6=107 107=a+55
d=11 a=107−55 a=52
