What is the relationship between the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence?

\[\text{the ratio of the consecutive terms for the fibonacci } \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ a_{n+1} }{ a_n }=R\] R is the golden ratio

You might want to look up Binet's Formula for that, more precisely Binet & De Moivre's formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \phi=\frac{ 1+\sqrt{5} }{ 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F_n=\frac{ \phi^n-(-\phi)^{ -n} }{ \sqrt{5} }\] Binet.

Or if you want to do it via induction, keep an eye on the parameters as you add successful exponents: \[\phi^2-\phi-1=0\] thus \[\phi^2=\phi+1\] and now multiplying both sides by phi. \[\phi^3=\phi^2\phi=2\phi+1\] \[\phi^4=\phi^3\phi=3\phi+2\] and \[\phi^5=\phi^4\phi=5\phi+3\] The coefficients form the Fibonacci Sequence.
