Question

Use inductive reasoning to find the next term in the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 …

Answer is 13

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

Look carefully: you'll see that each new term is the sum of the previous two terms. The 3rd term is 0 + 1, or 1. The 4th term is 1 + 1, or 2. The 8th term is the sum of 5 and 8, or 13.
