Problem 8- Fibonacci sequence
The Fibonacci sequence is given by, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,... Let xi represent the ith term in the sequence. Notice that for i = 3, 4, 5,..., xi is generated by summing the previous two terms. Which of the following generates xi for i = 3, 4, 5,...?
|
|
|
xi = xi-1 +xi-2 |
|
|
xi = (i -1) + (i -2) = 2i - 3 |
|
|
xi = x1 + x2 |
|
|
xi = xi + 1 + xi + 2 |
| E. | xi = (i ) + (i -1) = 2i - 1 |
