Question

pl help asap gold medal will be awarded.generate the first 5 terms of this sequence.

f(1)=1and f(2)=2, f(n-1) + f(n-2) , for n>2

Answer 1

can u help? plz

Answer 2

so we now that f(1)=1 and f(2)=2
for n>2 we have
n=3
f(3-1)+(f(3-2)=f(2)+f(1)=?

Answer 3

um i dont know

Answer 4

f(2)+f(1) = what?
remember we know that f(1)=1 and f(2)=2

Answer 5

um 2+1?

Answer 6

yes
so now we know that f(3)=3 so what happens for n=4?
f(n-1)+f(n-2)=?

Answer 7

we plug it in

Answer 8

right
f(4-1)+f(4-2)=f(3)+f(2)=?

Answer 9

We just figured out that f(3)=3 and we were give that f(2)=2

Answer 10

f(3)+F(2+F(3)

Answer 11

f(4)=f(3)+f(2)=3+2=?

Answer 12

do add just the back part

Answer 13

You figure out what the function is for each value and put it into the equation.

Answer 14

um am so sorry to interupt but am really in a hurry so can you plz give me final answer

Answer 15

we know that the first terms are (1,2,3,5) for terms 1,2,3,4

each new term is equal to the sum of the function at n-1 and n-2 so for n=5 substitute n into
f(n-1)+f(n-2) what do you get?
f(?) + f(?)

Answer 16

i dont kow how to solve it

Answer 17

If you substitute n=5 you get
f(5-1) +f(5-2) which is f(4)+f(3)
we evaluated the function at 3 and 4 already so we have
f(4)+f(3)= 5 +3 = 8 so
(1,2,3,5,8) are the first 5 terms

Answer 18

oh ok i get it

Answer 19

thx
