WORKSHEET 1.2
DO AS REQUIRED:

A. The first fifteen Fibonacci numbers are:

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

What are your observations on the following cases:

1. The first number is multiplied by the third number and the second number is squared in any three
consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Repeat the procedure for four other sets.

1. 235
2 x 5 = 10
32 = 9

2. 358
3 x 8 = 24
52 = 25

3. 5 8 13
5 x 13 = 65
82 = 64

4. 8 13 21
8 x 21 = 168
132 = 169

2. The first number is multiplied by the fourth number and the second number is multiplied by the third
number in any four consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Repeat the procedure for four other sets.

1. 1235
1x5=5
2x3=6

2. 2358
2 x 8 = 16
3 x 5 = 15

3. 3 5 8 13
3 x 13 = 39
5 x 8 = 40

4. 5 8 13 21

5 x 21 = 105
8 x 13 = 104

Observation:

- I noticed that in number 1 and 2 the answers is just the first term gets added and the second term gets
subtracted and so on, in the following numbers.

B. The first fifteen Fibonacci numbers are:

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

If T1 = the first term, T2 = the second term, T3 = the third term and so on,

3. Get the sum of the first four terms and compare with the sixth number. Repeat the procedure for the
succeeding sets of four numbers in the Fibonacci sequence.

1. 5 8 13 21 34 55
5 + 8 + 13 + 21 = 47

2. 8 13 21 34 55 89
8 + 13 + 21 + 34 = 76

3. 13 21 34 55 89 144
13 + 21 + 34 + 55 = 123

4. 21 34 55 89 144 233
21 + 34 + 55 + 89 = 199

4. Get the sum of the first five terms and compare with the seventh number. Repeat the procedure for the
succeeding sets of five numbers in the Fibonacci sequence.

1. 3 5 8 13 21 34 55
3 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 21 = 50

2. 5 8 13 21 34 55 89
5 + 8 + 13 +21 + 34 = 81

3. 8 13 21 34 55 89 144
8 + 13 + 21 + 34 + 55 = 131

4. 13 21 34 55 89 144 233
13 + 21 + 34 + 55 + 89 = 212

Observation:

- I noticed that in number 3 and 4 when you compare and subtract the last digit and the sum of answer it
will always end up in Fibonacci numbers.

C.
- puffer fish are known for their elaborate courtship rituals, which involve the male creating intricate
circular patterns in the sand using his fins and body movements. These patterns are thought to attract
female puffer fish for mating. I can say that puffer fish are known for creating beautiful and intricate
designs in the sand at the bottom of the ocean. It's fascinating to see how they use their fins to create
these amazing patterns, and it's a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of nature.
