 FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
 
 
 
  It was believed that the concept of Fibonacci sequence was
derived from the story of the reproduction of rabbits. It goes like
this:
 
Assumed the following statements to be true about rabbits.
1. It takes a month before a rabbit becomes sexually matured.
2. The gestation period of a rabbit is 1 month.
3. When a female rabbit gives birth, it gives birth to 1 male and 1
female rabbit.

 
With these things considered, the reproduction of rabbits is
shown in the diagram at the right.

It would be noticed that the number of pairs of rabbits is in

the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on and so
forth. This sequence is called Fibonacci sequence. This is
also observed in various patterns seen among nature.  
 
 
 FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

• Define Fibonacci number: an integer in the infinite sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5,

8, 13, … of which the first two terms are 1 and 1 and each succeeding…

• It displays unique mathematical properties that make it useful in fields as

diverse as astronomy (distances between planets and the sun, and the
shape of galactic spirals), botany (growth patterns of plants and trees),
and financial markets (price movements of
of securities).

Fibonacci Sequence

 The Fibonacci Sequence can be written as a "Rule“

 First, the terms are numbered from 0 onwards like this:

 So term number 6 is called x6 (which equals 8).

 Simple Rule: Add the last two terms to get the next
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series
of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The next number is found by adding

up the two numbers before it.
• Here is a longer list:

• 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233,

377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946,
17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418,
317811, 514229, 832040,…
Fibonacci Sequence

 So we can write the rule:

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

• Define Fibonacci number an integer in the infinite sequence 0, 1,1,

2,3, 5, 8,……of which the first two terms are 1 and 1 and each
succeeding.

• Formula 1:

th th
Fnth  (n  1)  (n  2)
Example: term 9 is calculated like this:

• x9= x9-1 + x9-2

• = x8 + x7
• = 21 + 13
• = 34

The Golden Ratio
  
 
 

GOLDEN RATIO
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The Golden ratio or also known as the
Divine Proportion is the ratio of two
consecutive Fibonacci numbers. The
quotient of these two consecutive
numbers are approaches to the value of
1.61803398… as n becomes larger. To
find the nth term in the Fibonacci
sequence, we use the formula:

Finding the Nth Term in a Fibonacci Sequence

 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
Example 1: Using the golden ratio, find of the Fibonacci
  sequence.
 
 
 
 
Solutions:
  = 34
Where:

n - represents the indicated

Example 2: Using the golden ratio, find of the Fibonacci
term and
sequence.

- is a constant number Solutions:

equivalent to 1.618034.
= 6 765
