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 ....

Figure 9 : Fibonacci's sequence amd Pascal Triangle
Product no. Program 04 07

Q1. What is Fibonacci's sequence
    (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

Q2. Find the 6th number
  • Use Pascal triangle as Figure we have 1 + 4 + 3 = 8
  • Use recursion we have T(6) = T(4) + T(5) = 3 + 5

Q3. What is the recursion formula ?
  • T(0) = 0
  • T(1) = 1
  • T(n) = T(n-2) + T(n-1)
