Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,  is called a Fibonacci sequence. The first two terms are 1 and 1. You then add two consecutive terms to get the next term.

Calculation:

The first two numbers for the new sequence are 3 and 11.

Hence the modified Fibonacci sequence will be

  3, 11, 14, 25, 39, 64, 

The following computer program computes the first 25 terms of the modified Fibonacci sequence shown above and finds the ratio of any term to its preceding term.

Let A, B, N, D, E, F, G and C be the variables used in program. Where A and B stand for the first two numbers in the sequence, N stands for the number of terms, D, E, F and G are used to find the ratio up to four decimal places, C stands for the next term in the sequence which is actually the sum of A and B. Consider the program below

Program:

'Print this statement "TERM NO. TERM RATIO" on output screen.

10 PRINT "TERM NO.", "TERM", "RATIO"

'Assign the first two terms to A and B

20 LET A=3

30 LET B=11

40 PRINT “1”, A,”-“

50 FOR N=2 TO 25

60 LET D=B/A

70 LET E=10000 × D

80 LET F=INT (E)

90 LET G=F/10000

100 PRINT N, B, G

110 LET C=B+A

120 LET A=B

130 LET B=C

140 NEXT N

'End of Program

150 END

23 227659 1.618

24 368360 1.618

25 596019 1.618

The golden ratio calculated in the previous program was 1+52=1.618

The golden ratio computed in this exercise also is 1.618

Hence the ratio computed is similar to the given ratio.
