Definition: A harmonic sequence is a sequence in which all of the terms are reciprocals
of the terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Exercises:
1.) Write an explicit formula to find the nth term of 67/3, 67/7, 67/11, …__________
Use that to find the 25th term.
4.) Given the positive numbers, a and b, write the arithmetic mean, the geometric
mean and the harmonic mean and decide if the order (from lowest to highest) still
applies, and why it does.
The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence of numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, …
1.) Take any three sequential Fibonacci numbers. Multiply the outer two together and
square the middle one. What do you notice?
2.) Take any four sequential Fibonacci numbers. Multiply the outer two and multiply the
inner two. What do you notice?
3.) Create a new sequence by finding fn/fn +1. Does this sequence converge or diverge?
If it converges, what number appears to be the limit?
5.) Find two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, fn and fn +1. Then locate f2n +1 .
What do you notice about these numbers?
A) 1, i, 1, i, …
D) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …
E) 12, 6, 4, 3, …
F) 3 i, 3, 3 + i, 3 + 2i, …
I) 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 18, …
