Beauty Contest:
On the following slide you will see 5
rectangles. Which do you find most
attractive?
Put your answer in the zoom chat

and in the google form

If you answered d, you have excellent


taste in rectangles.
The ratio of length to
width in this
rectangle is the
"golden ratio". This
rectangle is therefore
dubbed a "golden
rectangle"

estimate the golden ratio by eyeballing.


Put your estimate in the zoom chat

So what is the golden ratio?????


Break a segment into two parts:

a b

The golden ratio (G) = a/b when a/b =??


Strategize with zoom groups

Solve for G (phi)


(hint write one equation only in terms of G)

Solve for G (phi)

a/b = (a+b)/a
a/b = a/a + b/a
known: G = a/b
G = 1 + 1/G
G2 - G - 1 = 0
G = (1 + √5)/2

Solve for G (phi)

a/b = (a+b)/a let's let b=1


a
a = (a+1)/a
b
a2 =a + 1
a2 - a - 1 =0
a = (1 + √5)/2

The Fibonacci Numbers:


0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13.....
F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7
F2 = F1+F0 F4 = F3+F2 F3 = F2+F1

in general: Fn= Fn-1+Fn-2


Can you write two other expressions for
Fn= Fn+1-Fn-1
Fn= Fn+2-Fn+1

List first 9 terms on Google Form

So we know that we can write F8 as the sum


of F7 and F6
Can you write F8 as an expression with F3 and F2 ?
Strategize with zoom groups

F8= F6+F7
= F4 + F5 + F6 + F5
= F4 + 2F5 + F6
= F3 + F2 + 2(F4 + F3) + F6
= 3F3 + F2 + 2(F3 + F2) + F4+F5
= 5F3 + 3F2 + F3 + F2 + F4+F3
= 7F3 + 4 F2 + F3 + F2
= 8F3 + 5F2

Are Fibonacci numbers in Pascal's triangle?


youbetcha.

So what do Fibonacci numbers have to do


with the Golden Ratio?
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55....

This is called Binet's formula.
