In a study of the progeny of rabbits, Fibonacci (ca. 1170-ca. 1240) encountered the sequence now bearing his name. The sequence

is defined recursively as follows.
an + 2 = an + an + 1, where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

(a) Write the first 12 terms of the sequence.

(b) Write the first 10 terms of the sequence defined below. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

bn =

an + 1/

an, n ? 1.

(c) The golden ratio ? can be defined by

limn ? In a study of the progeny of rabbits, Fibonacci (cbn = ?

, where

? = 1 + 1/?. Solve this equation for ?. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The question in part c is not clear, nevertheless, part a and part b would be solved.

Answer:

a. The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

b. The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given

an + 2 = an + an + 1

where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

a3 = a1 + a2

= 2

a4 = a2 + a3

= 3

a5 = a3 + a4

= 5

a6 = a5 + a4

= 8

a7 = a6 + a5

= 13

a8 = a7 + a6

= 21

a9 = a8 + a7

= 34

a10 = a9 + a8

= 55

a11 = a10 + a9

= 89

a12 = a11 + a10

= 144

The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

(b)

Given

bn = an+1/an

b1 = a2/a1

= 1/1 = 1.000

b2 = a3/a2

= 2/1 = 1.000

b3 = a4/a3

= 3/2 = 1.500

b4 = a5/a4

= 5/3 = 1.667

b5 = a6/a5

= 8/5 = 1.600

b6 = a7/a6

= 13/8 = 1.625

b7 = a8/a7

= 21/13 = 1.615

b8 = a9/a8

= 34/21 = 1.619

b9 = a10/a9

= 55/34 = 1.618

b10 = a11/a10

= 89/55 = 1.618

The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

The set of natural numbers that are factors of 20 are natural numbers that divides 20 exactly without a remainder.

These natural numbers are;

{1,2,4,5,10,20}

Therefore the correct answer is D

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2

Given that the universal set U has elements

{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

and the set P also has elements

{2,4,6,8,10}

The elements of P' are the elements that are in the universal set but are not in set P.

These elements are;

{1,3,5,7,9}

The correct answer is C

ANSWER TO QUESTION 3

The distance is given by the absolute value equation

d=|130-25t|

If the is 15 feet away then d=15

This implies that;

15=|130-25t|

We now split the absolute value sign to obtain,

15=130-25t

or

-15=130-25t

We now solve for t to obtain;

15-130=-25t

or

-15-130=-25t

\frac{115}{25}=t

or

\frac{145}{25}=t

This gives us

4.6=t

or

5.8=t

The correct answer is C

ANSWER TO QUESTION 4

Given

P={0,1,2,3,4,56,7,8,9}

and

V={2,4,6,810,1216,18,20}

P\capV={2,4,6,8}

P\V are  elements in P only .

This means that we have to take out the elements of the intersection of the two sets from P.

P\V ={0,1,3,5,5,7,9}

The correct answer is B

ANSWER TO QUESTION 5

The correct answer is B.

In listing the elements of a set, we do not repeat the element. In order words we list only distinct elements.


Blueberry is repeating in both sets but we have to list it once.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 6.

The correct answer is 220

We were told that 250 play basket ball

If 120 play both sports, then

250-120=130

play only basketball

Now the number of people who play only baseball

350-250=100

But the number of people who play baseball

120+100=220

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.
