Answer 27

sorry for the delay cantorset2... n btw i m girl... the sentence is " If any ten consecutive terms of a Fibonacci sequence are added, the sum is a constant multiple of the 7th term."

Answer 28

ok thats better

Answer 29

interesting claim

Answer 30

so if you add the first ten consecutive terms (or any ten consecutive terms) it will equal k*f7 , where f7 is the 7th term of the fibo. sequence

Answer 31

so k is the constant?

Answer 32

well a constant multiple of 3 is like 3,6,9...

Answer 33

, whats the 7th term of fibo series

Answer 34

50

Answer 35

Another property of Fibonacci numbers is that the sum of any ten numbers in the sequence is equal to eleven times the seventh number in the series, a fact which would not have escaped the notice of Mesoamericans, who recognized the numbers 7 and 11 as special.

Answer 36

its not 50

Answer 37

oh youre adding the first 10 consecutive terms ?

Answer 38

can you list the first ten fibonacci numbers

Answer 39

thanks man! really appreciate ur help!:)

Answer 40

n thank u saifoo.khan n Mrbonez321:)

Answer 41

the first ten fibo. numbers are
0 + 1 + 1+ 2 + 3+ 5 + 8 + 13+ 21+34 = 88

Answer 42

the sum of the first ten fibonacci numbers. notice that 88 is a constant multiple of the seventh term

Answer 43

now lets look at the next ten numbers
1 + 1+ 2 + 3+ 5 + 8 + 13+ 21+34+ 55 = 143, and 143 is a constant multiple of the seventh term (13) , it is in fact 11 * 13

Answer 44

and even more interesting , it is always 11 times the seventh term

Answer 45

dude, do u learn this stuff or know them... i wish i could give u more than 1 medaal

Answer 46

medal*

Answer 47

lets try the next ten, 1+ 2 + 3+ 5 + 8 + 13+ 21+34 + 55 + 89 = 231 and 231 = 11 * 21 , where 21 is the seventh term

Answer 48

i just read about it a minute ago

Answer 49

you mentioned it :)

Answer 50

interesting property

Answer 51

i dunno why its is not showing me under viewing...

Answer 52

so again, constant multiple is a just a fancy term which means, 6 is a constant multiple of 3 , it is 2 times 3 .
24 is a constant multiple of 3 because 24 = 3 * 8

Answer 53

constant = any constant (number)
multiple is like 3, 6, 9 , etc

Answer 54

20 is not a constant multiple of 3,

Answer 55

oh , i think they said 'constant' to emphasize it doesnt change

Answer 56

because it is always 11 times the seventh term

Answer 57

as opposed to any multiple

Answer 58

whats wrong, what cant you view?

Answer 59

i was just able to view ur posts...
