Lesson 1.2 Fibonacci Sequence PPT 1

Here are the steps to find the indicated terms of the Fibonacci sequence: 1. 9th term: Using the formula: F9 = (φ9 - (1-φ)9)/√5 φ = 1.618 (1.618)9 - (0.382)9)/√5 = 34 2. 15th term: Using the formula: F15 = (φ15 - (1-φ)15)/√5 (1.618)15 - (0.382)15)/√5 = 610 So the 9th term is 34 and the 15th term is 610.

Lesson 1.

2:
The Fibonacci
Sequence
Leonardo of Pisa - Fibonacci
 Fibonacci is the greatest
European mathematician of
the middle ages.
 Born in 1170 and died in
1240.
 He introduced the Arabic
number system in Europe.
Origin of Fibonacci Sequence

Fibonacci Sequence was


discovered after an
investigation on the
reproduction of rabbits.
Growing Population of Rabbits
Problem: Suppose a newly-born
pair of rabbits ( one male, one
female) are put in a field.
Rabbits are able to mate at the
age of month so that at the end
of the second month, a female
can produce another pair of
rabbits.
Fibonacci Sequence
Fibonacci sequence is 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 term is the
sum of the two immediately preceding.

Simple rule: add the last two to get the next.


How many pairs will be there in one
year?

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,


89, 144,…

So 144 pairs will be there at the


end of one year.

The Golden Ratio

𝜑
The golden ratio is often denoted by the
Greek letter (Phi).

This is approximately equal to 1.618.


The Golden Ratio

The golden ratio can be


expressed as the ratio 𝜑
between two numbers.
