Other Sequences ( Fibonacci, Harmonic,…) MARK O. AGUSTIN, LPT MATHEMATICS TEACHER
OBJECTIVES Illustrate other types of sequences; Solve problems involving sequences.
Fibonacci Sequence
FIBONACCI In 1202, Leonardo of Pisa, who was called Fibonacci, wrote a book on arithmetic and algebra titled Liber Abaci . The sequence 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 … LEONARDO OF PISA
FIBONACCI SEQUENCE The sequence 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 … Is called the Fibonacci Sequence. The first two terms of this sequence are 1 and each successive term is the sum of the preceding terms. Add more information here as needed
GENERAL TERM OF FIBONACCI- TYPE SEQUENCE A Fibonacci type sequence is a sequence in which the general term is given by the formula Where and are given. The Fibonacci sequence corresponds to = =1 GOLDEN RATIOS
EXAMPLE If and represent any first numbers, list the first eight terms of this Fibonacci type sequence. Given and . Find . Find the 30 th term of the Fibonacci sequence
Harmonic Sequence
Harmonic Sequence If are terms of an arithmetic sequence, then the sequence of the reciprocals of these terms, , is called a harmonic sequence. FIRST MEMBER OF HARMONIC SEQUENCE
EXAMPLE The sixth term of the harmonic sequence . The first term of a harmonic sequence whose fourth term is and whose twelfth term is
