Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio

This video tutorial explores the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. It begins with an introduction to the Fibonacci sequence, explaining how each term is the sum of the two preceding ones. The video then delves into the golden ratio, illustrating how it is derived from the ratios of successive Fibonacci terms. Methods for calculating Fibonacci terms using the golden ratio are discussed, along with a detailed derivation of the golden ratio itself. The tutorial concludes with practical examples and mathematical explanations.

What is the formula used to calculate Fibonacci numbers using the golden ratio?

• f(n) = (1 + sqrt(5))^n / 2^n

• f(n) = n^2 + 1

• f(n) = n + sqrt(5)

• f(n) = (1 - sqrt(5))^n / 2^n

What is the geometric mean in the context of the Fibonacci sequence?

• The difference between the first and last terms

• The sum of the first and last terms

• The middle term approximates the geometric mean of the previous and next terms

• The product of the first and last terms

How can the exact values of the golden ratio be derived?

• By multiplying the first two terms

• By adding the first two terms

What is the relationship between the golden ratio and its reciprocal?

• The reciprocal is approximately 0.618

• The reciprocal is the square of the golden ratio

• They are equal

• The reciprocal is greater than the golden ratio
