Fibonacci Worksheet

The document discusses Fibonacci numbers and poses several questions about properties of the numbers. It notes that every third Fibonacci number is divisible by 3 and asks the reader to verify through multiplication that the product of the first and last numbers in groups of 3 or 4 equals the square of the middle number, and that the sum of the first N terms equals the N+1 term.

FIBONACCI NUMBERS

The first fifteen Fibonacci numbers are:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610

1. What sort of number is every third term?

2. Choose any three consecutive Fibonacci numbers.


Multiply the first by the third. Square the second.
Repeat this for other groups of three. Write what you
notice?

3. Choose any four consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Multiply


the first by the fourth. Multiply the second by the third.
Repeat for other groups of four. Write what you notice.

4. If T1 = the first term, T2 = the second term, T3 = the


third term and so on:

a) Find the sum of the first four terms. Compare the total
with T6.
b) Add the first five terms. Compare the total with T7.
c) Add the first six terms. Compare the total with T8.
d) Without adding, find the sum of the first 12 terms.

Look at questions 2,3 and 4. Can you prove them?
