Q02. Fibonacci's sequence
Sequences
(1) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...
(2) It is called rabbit population pattern
(3) Fibonacci's sequence and keppler definetion see MD2002 14 25
(4) Lucas sequence and fibonacci's squauence in ZL.txt
keppler Definition
T(0) = 0
T(1) = 1
T(n) = T(n - 2) + T(n - 1)
Example
T(2) = T(1) + T(0) = 1 + 0 = 1
T(3) = T(2) + T(1) = 1 + 1 = 2
T(4) = T(3) + T(2) = 2 + 1 = 3
Lucas sequence
It is same as Fibonacci's sequence
But T(0) = 2
Conditions of rabbit population
Each pair rabit will produce one pair after one month they are born
There is no death of the pair
1st month : 1 = one pair A
2nd month : 1 = the original one pair A
3rd month : 2 = Pair A produce pair A1
4th month : 3 = A + A1 + pair A produce A2
5th month : 5 = A + A1 + A2 + pair A produce A3 + A1 produce A11

Q03. Find the 6th number of Fibonacci's sequence
The number
Use Pascal triangle as shown in Diagram we have 1 + 4 + 3 = 8
Use recursion we have
T(0) = 0
T(1) = 1
T(2) = T(1) + T(0) = 1 + 0 = 1
T(3) = T(2) + T(1) = 1 + 1 = 2
T(4) = T(3) + T(2) = 2 + 1 = 3
T(5) = T(4) + T(3) = 3 + 2 = 5
T(6) = T(4) + T(5) = 3 + 5 = 8
Find the 8th number in Pascal triangle
The number is 4 + 10 + 6 + 1 = 21

Q04. The recursion formula
Fibonacci's sequence
T(0) = 0
T(1) = 1
T(n) = T(n-2) + T(n-1)
Lucas's sequence
T(0) = 2
T(1) = 1
T(n) = T(n-2) + T(n-1)

Q05. Compare Fibonacci's sequence and Lucas sequence
n .............. 0 .... 1 .... 2 .... 3 .... 4 .... 5 .... 6 ..... 7 ....
Fibonacci's .... 0 .... 1 .... 1 .... 2 .... 3 .... 5 .... 8 .... 13 ....
Lucas .......... 2 .... 1 .... 3 .... 4 .... 7 ... 11 ... 18 .... 29 ....
