values. The arrangement of these
terms is set by a definite rule.
 Example:

Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next three
terms.

a. 1, 10, 100, 1000,...

b. 2, 5, 9, 14, 20,...

The Fibonacci and the

Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio is a special number which is approximately equal
to 1.618034…, it is represented by the symbol “phi” or ɸ. Two
quantities a and b are in a golden ratio if and only if
a + b = 1.618 or a = 1.618
