(a)

To determine

To prove: The f1+f3+...+f2n1 using the mathematical induction and the Fibonacci recurrence relation.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Using the mathematical induction and the Fibonacci recurrence.

The sequence of numbers f0,f1,f2,...,fn,... satisfying the recurrence relation and initial conditions are fn=fn1+fn2 where, n2 is called the Fibonacci sequence, and the terms of the sequence are called Fibonacci numbers. The recurrence relation in (7.4) is also called the Fibonacci recurrence.

From our calculations, the first few terms of the Fibonacci sequence are

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,....

Using these values to calculate the next steps which is given in table 1.
