1. Make a formula for the nth Fibonacci number. For instance, the 3rd Fibonacci number
is 2 and the 4th is 3. What is the 100th Fibonacci number?

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

Since 100 is a large number, it would take time to calculate in order to find the 100th Fibonacci
number using the mentioned formula. Thus, it will be best to use Binet’s formula

Or
2. What is the ratio of the (n+1)th to the nth Fibonacci number? Prove it.

The golden ratio is approximately equal to 1.6180339887 as 𝜙 = 1+√5/2

With one number, a, and another smaller number, b, the ratio of the two numbers is found by
dividing them.

1/𝜑 = 1/1.6180339887 = 0.6180339887

To get the Fibonacci number, we use the formula, Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2.

3. Build a Pascal triangle with 10 levels. Please enumerate the properties of the triangle
and its importance.

Pascal’s Triangle has the following properties (BJYU’S, 2017):

- Each number is the sum of the two numbers above it.

- The outside numbers are all 1.
- The triangle is symmetric.
- The first diagonal shows the counting numbers.
- The sums of the rows give the powers of 2.
- Each row gives the digits of the powers of 11.
- Each entry is an appropriate “choose number.”
- And those are the “binomial coefficients.”
- The Fibonacci numbers are there along diagonals.

Pascal’s Triangle is important in the field of Mathematics as it helps in its various applications in
algebra, probability theory, statistics, finding the Fibonacci series, etc. Additionally, it can be
used to calculate the combinations of numbers.
4. Draw a Tessellation of 3.3.4.3.4 and 3.3.3.4.4.

5. Determine whether or not x^2+y^2=4 is a function. how about y = x^2+4?. Show by

using the definition.

A function is a special kind of relation where input cannot result in more than one output.

If we let x = 0, we get y^2=4. Thus, y=2 or y=-2. We can see that a single x-value relates to two
different y-values. Therefore, x^2 + y^2 = 4 is not a function because all the x values, except x =
± 2, have two y values.

However, y = x^2+4, is a function, because if we let x = 0, we get y=4. Thus, y = 0 and y = 4.

We can see that each x value does not relate to the two y-values.
Bonus:

What are fractals and draw (give) an example of a fractal.

A fractal is a pattern that is never ending. It is built by repeating something over and over again.
An example is the pattern of a snowflake.
