Question 981790: Twelve days before Valentine’s Day, Carl decided to give Nicole
flowers according to the Fibonacci sequence. On the first day, he sent
one red rose, on the second day, two red roses, and so on. How many
roses did Nicole receive during the tenth day?
Answer by Cromlix(4381)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.
The formula:
Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2
The next number in the sequence is
formed by adding the previous two together.
Therefore Carl would be sending 55
red roses to Nicole on the tenth day
if he began at the first '1'.
If he began with the 2nd '1'
she would receive 89 red roses.
Hope this helps :-)
