The Golden Ratio, often denoted by the Greek letter phi (Φ), is approximately equal to 1.618. It appears in various natural phenomena, including the human body. Let's break down the process: ### Show more…

The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows: F0 = 0, F1 = 1 and for n larger than 1, FN+1 = FN + FN-1. Set up a spreadsheet to compute the Fibonacci sequence. Show that for large N, the ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio (1.61).

The Fibonacci sequence The Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by $a_{1}=1, \quad a_{2}=1, \quad a_{k+1}=a_{k}+a_{k-1} \quad$ for $\quad k \geq 2$ (a) Find the first ten terms of the sequence. (b) The terms of the sequence $r_{k}=a_{k+1} / a_{k}$ give progressively better approximations to $\tau,$ the golden ratio. Approximate the first ten terms of this sequence.
