We have a sequence where the first term (x1) is equal to 2, and each term is 1 minus the reciprocal of the previous term (which we can write as xn+1=11xn).

What’s x57?

Let n be a positive integer. Can n777 ever be a Fibonacci number?

Prove that every pair of consecutive Fibonacci numbers are coprime. That is, they share no common factors other than 1.

Calculate the following: F12F0F2, F22F1F3, F32F2F4, F42F3F5 and F52F4F6. What do you notice?

Work out F32F0F6, F42F1F7, F52F2F8 and F62F3F9. What pattern do you spot?

Can every whole number be written as the sum of two Fibonacci numbers? If yes, then prove it. If not, then give an example of a number that can’t be. The two Fibonacci numbers don’t have to be different.

What’s i=0nFi2=F02+F12+F22+...+Fn12+Fn2 in terms of just Fn and Fn+1?
