Exercise 1-B

A. Directions: True or False: Write T if the statement or equation is TRUE. Otherwise,


write F.

_______ 1. 19 is a prime number; thus F19 is a prime number.


_______ 2. F19 = 144, the index number is equal to its digit sum.
_______ 3. Every 3rd Fibonacci is a multiple of 2.
_______ 4. The digit sum of 89 is 17; therefore, F17 = 89
_______ 5. F6 = 8 is the first Fibonacci number with 2 as a factor.
_______ 6. 7 is a factor of F8 .
_______ 7. F3 and F4 are prime factors of F12.
_______ 8. Every 4th Fibonacci number is a multiple of 3.
_______ 9. Every 4th Fibonacci number is an odd number.
_______ 10. F12 = 144, the index number 12 is a factor of 144; therefore 15 is
a factor of F15 .

B. Directions: Solve the following problems completely.


1. Fill in the blanks for the next 6 Fibonacci numbers.

1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,
___, ___, ___, ___, ___, ___,
2. Calculate the following:

a. F23

b. F16

c. F11

3. If F9 =34 and F10 = 55, what is the eleventh Fibonacci?

4. If F17 = 2584 and F16 = 1597, then find F15.

5. Find the index numbers n where Fn is even. Write down the pattern.

C. Find instances where one Fibonacci number is a factor (divisor) of another


Fibonacci number. What is the relationship between their two indices?

Exercise 1-C

1. Compute the ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers, starting with F 2/F1 , F3/F2 ,

And continuing until you reach F13 / F12 . Where does this sequence of ratios seem to
be heading?
2. It has been claimed that Fibonacci numbers are nature’s numbers. Investigate this
claim in the following situation: Examine 3 pineapples. Pineapples have three sets of
spirals, as shown in the Figure below. Count the number of spirals in each direction.
What can you conclude?

3. Compute for the ratio of the following and discuss how it compares to the golden
ratio:

a. length and width of your face

b. distance between the lips and where the eyebrows meet to the length of the
nose

c. length of the mouth to the width of the nose

d. distance between the navel and knee to the distance between the knee and
the end of the foot.
