6.
There are two types of female honeybees: workers, which produce no eggs, and the queen, which
produces eggs. Drone bees are males that are produced from the queen’s unfertilized eggs. A drone’s
mother is the queen that laid the egg. But a drone has no father, because the egg was never
fertilized. Worker females and queen females are produced from the queen’s fertilized eggs. So each
type of female has a father as well as a mother, because the female eggs were fertilized. Describe
how the numbers of ancestors of a drone honeybee are Fibonacci numbers.

Answer:

The Fibonacci sequence is as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. Often emerges when we consider growth. A bee
family is an example. Drone honeybees are males produced from unhatched queen eggs; hence, their
mother is the queen who laid the egg, and they lack a father because the egg was never artificially
inseminated. As a result, drone bees have only one parent, who serves as their mother. A drone bee,
on the other hand, has two grandparents, who are their mother's mother and father, because the
queen has two parents because she is born from a fertilized ovum. Because she was born from a
fertilized egg, her grandmother will still have two parents, but her grandfather will only have one.

7. Binet’s Formula states that the nth Fibonacci number is

(a) Use Binet’s Formula to find the 29th and 30th Fibonacci numbers.

.Answer:

(b) Use the results of part (a) to find the 31st Fibonacci number.

Answer:
12. In the Fibonacci Sequence:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, ...

Which of these numbers are divisible by 2?

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, ...

The answer is every third number, and 2 is the third Fibonacci number.
How about the ones divisible by 3?

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987,...
The answer is every fourth number, and 3 is the fourth Fibonacci number.
Could these be just a coincidence? Examine if this pattern goes on forever.

Answer:
My answer was a coincidence, Why was my answer a coincidence? Since these numbers are divisible
by 2, the solution is every third number, since 2 is the third Fibonacci number, like 3. In this case, the
next word is divisible by four. The solution is every fifth number, but it deviates from the previous
rule.

13. The golden triangle, sometimes also called the sublime triangle, is an isosceles triangle such that
the ratio of the hypotenuse a to base b is equal to the golden ratio, a/b = φ. What is the measure of
the vertex angle of the triangle?

Answer:
14. The term phyllotaxis means "leaf arrangement" in Greek and was coined in 1754 by Charles
Bonnet, a Swiss naturalist. In the 1830s, a pair of scientist brothers found that each new leaf on a
plant stem is positioned at a certain angle to the previous one and that this angle is constant
between leaves. That is, if you look down from above on the plant and measure the angle formed
between a line drawn from the stem to the leaf and a corresponding line for the next leaf, you will
find that there is generally a fixed angle, called the divergence angle. What is the measurement of
this angle?

Answer:

The sun and rain come from above, orthogonal (vertical) to the leaf plane, the divergence angle
should be such that the lower leaves are not blocked by the upper leaves. If possible, avoid any type
of periodic raking of the leaves, as this will result in such obstruction. So, dividing the circle
produced by the plant (pictured above) by an irrational number yields the best fit if the more
irrational the better. Since the golden ratio is the largest irrational integer, we get a divergence
angle of 360/(phi) = 222.5 or equal to 360-222.5 = 137.5 degrees.
