What is the first number in the Fibonacci sequence?

  1. 0

  2. 1

  3. 2

  4. 3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two previous numbers.

What is the 10th number in the Fibonacci sequence?

  1. 34

  2. 55

  3. 89

  4. 144


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The 10th number in the Fibonacci sequence is 55.

What is the formula for finding the nth Fibonacci number?

  1. $$F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$$

  2. $$F_n = F_{n-1} - F_{n-2}$$

  3. $$F_n = F_{n-1} * F_{n-2}$$

  4. $$F_n = F_{n-1} / F_{n-2}$$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The formula for finding the nth Fibonacci number is $$F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$$, where $$F_n$$ is the nth Fibonacci number, $$F_{n-1}$$ is the (n-1)th Fibonacci number, and $$F_{n-2}$$ is the (n-2)th Fibonacci number.

What is the sum of the first 10 Fibonacci numbers?

  1. 233

  2. 466

  3. 799

  4. 1265


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The sum of the first 10 Fibonacci numbers is 799.

What is the largest Fibonacci number that is less than 1000?

  1. 610

  2. 750

  3. 890

  4. 987


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The largest Fibonacci number that is less than 1000 is 610.

What is the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers?

  1. $$\frac{1}{\phi}$$

  2. $$\phi$$

  3. $$\phi^2$$

  4. $$\frac{1}{\phi^2}$$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden ratio, which is approximately 1.618.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio?

  1. The golden ratio is the limit of the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

  2. The golden ratio is the sum of the first two Fibonacci numbers.

  3. The golden ratio is the difference of the first two Fibonacci numbers.

  4. The golden ratio is the product of the first two Fibonacci numbers.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The golden ratio is the limit of the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers as the numbers get larger.

What are some applications of Fibonacci numbers?

  1. In computer science, Fibonacci numbers are used in algorithms for sorting and searching.

  2. In finance, Fibonacci numbers are used to model stock prices.

  3. In biology, Fibonacci numbers are found in the arrangement of leaves on a stem.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fibonacci numbers have a wide range of applications in various fields, including computer science, finance, and biology.

What is the Binet's formula for finding the nth Fibonacci number?

  1. $$F_n = \frac{\phi^n - \psi^n}{\sqrt{5}}$$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Binet's formula for finding the nth Fibonacci number is $$F_n = \frac{\phi^n - \psi^n}{\sqrt{5}}$$, where $$\phi$$ is the golden ratio, $$\psi$$ is the conjugate of the golden ratio, and $$n$$ is the index of the Fibonacci number.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and Pascal's triangle?

  1. The Fibonacci sequence can be found in the diagonals of Pascal's triangle.

  2. The Fibonacci sequence is the sum of the numbers in each row of Pascal's triangle.

  3. The Fibonacci sequence is the difference of the numbers in each row of Pascal's triangle.

  4. The Fibonacci sequence is the product of the numbers in each row of Pascal's triangle.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Fibonacci sequence can be found in the diagonals of Pascal's triangle, starting with the second diagonal.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the Lucas sequence?

  1. The Lucas sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 2.

  2. The Lucas sequence is the Fibonacci sequence multiplied by 2.

  3. The Lucas sequence is the Fibonacci sequence divided by 2.

  4. The Lucas sequence is the Fibonacci sequence added to 2.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Lucas sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 2, meaning that the first two numbers in the Lucas sequence are 2 and 1, and the rest of the sequence is generated in the same way as the Fibonacci sequence.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the Pell sequence?

  1. The Pell sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 1.

  2. The Pell sequence is the Fibonacci sequence multiplied by 2.

  3. The Pell sequence is the Fibonacci sequence divided by 2.

  4. The Pell sequence is the Fibonacci sequence added to 1.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Pell sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 1, meaning that the first two numbers in the Pell sequence are 1 and 2, and the rest of the sequence is generated in the same way as the Fibonacci sequence.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the Tribonacci sequence?

  1. The Tribonacci sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 3.

  2. The Tribonacci sequence is the Fibonacci sequence multiplied by 3.

  3. The Tribonacci sequence is the Fibonacci sequence divided by 3.

  4. The Tribonacci sequence is the Fibonacci sequence added to 3.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Tribonacci sequence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted by 3, meaning that the first three numbers in the Tribonacci sequence are 0, 0, and 1, and the rest of the sequence is generated by adding the previous three numbers.

What is the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and the Catalan numbers?

  1. The Catalan numbers are the Fibonacci numbers shifted by 1.

  2. The Catalan numbers are the Fibonacci numbers multiplied by 2.

  3. The Catalan numbers are the Fibonacci numbers divided by 2.

  4. The Catalan numbers are the Fibonacci numbers added to 1.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Catalan numbers are the Fibonacci numbers divided by 2, rounded to the nearest integer.
