Question

The number of ancestors in different generations of a male honeybee follow a Fibonacci sequence in five generations of male honey bees has eight relatives in six generations it has thirteen relatives and in seven generations it has 21 relatives how many relatives does It have in 8 and 9 generations

Answer 1

34, 55

Explanation:

The Fibonacci sequence is:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, .

you're pretty much just adding the last number and the current to get the next one.

ex: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, .

13 + 21 = 34

which is the next number in the Fibonacci sequence

so to get 9th generation you add

21 + 34

=

55

so the answer is

34, 55

Answer 2

In generation 8 it would have 34 relatives, and in generation 9 it would have 55 relatives.

In the Fibonacci sequence, each term is found by adding the two previous terms together. For generation 8, we would add generation 7 (21) and generation 6 (13); 21+13 = 34. For generation 9, we would add generation 8 (34) and generation 7 (21); 34 + 21 = 55.
