Question

B. Mason put sticky notes on some pages of his math book. The page numbers for this sequence 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,34, ... Describe the rule for the sequence. I Find the next two terms of the sequence. Show your work.​

Answer 1

The next two terms are 55 and 89

Explanation:

This is an example of the Fibonacci Sequence: The sum of the previous two numbers equals the next number.

You can see that :

• 3 + 5 = 8
• 5 + 8 = 13
• 8 + 13 = 21
• 13 + 21 = 24

Rule: the sum of the previous two numbers, equals the next number.

Solve:

• 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, (21 + 34), (34 + 21 + 34)
• 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89

The next two terms are 55 and 89
