Fibonacci Sequence 1
Fibonacci Sequence 1
SEQUENCE
-An infinite sequence where in each
succeeding term is the sum of the
two preceding terms.
-The numbers are formed after
Fibonacci, also known as
Leonardo of Pisa or Leonardo
Pisano who lived in Italy.

THE Nth TERM
The formula to find the nth term of the
sequence if the two previous terms are known
is denoted by 𝐹𝑛 = 𝐹𝑛;1 + 𝐹𝑛;2
where:
𝐹𝑛 – is term number “n”
𝐹𝑛;1 - is the previous term (n-1)
𝐹𝑛;2 - is the term before that (n-2)
EXAMPLE:
𝐹5<5 𝐹6<8 𝐹7< ?
𝑭𝒏 = 𝑭𝒏;𝟏 + 𝑭𝒏;𝟐
𝐹7 = 𝐹7;1 + 𝐹7;2
𝐹7 = 𝐹6 + 𝐹5
𝐹7 = 5 + 8
𝐹7 = 13

EXAMPLES
Let Fib(n) be the nth term of the
Fibonacci sequence, with
Fib(1) =1, Fib(2) = 1, Fib(3) = 2, and so on.
