KEY CONCEPTS:

A sequence is a set of numbers where every term is defined by some rule. One basic rule
of sequences is a Fibonacci style sequence where each term is the sum of the two
previous terms.

1. Fibonacci Sequence -

An = An-1 + An-2

An = nth term in the sequence


An-1 = The previous term in the sequence
An-2 = The 2nd previous term in the sequence i.e. two terms ago

a) The sequence rule above typically permits the calculation of the nth term in a
Fibonacci sequence only by process of iteration i.e. finding the next term then the
next term then the next term etc.
b) There exists a formula (Binet's Formula) for calculating the nth term of a
Fibonacci sequence directly, but it is beyond the scope of this course and the
exam and thus not required.
c) As the number of terms, n, gets high the next term in a Fibonacci sequence
behaves like a geometric sequence and is defined by a multiplier that approaches
the value known as the Golden Ratio Φ = 1.618... e.g. If A50 = 100 then A51
≈161.8
