II. Let Fib (N) Be The NTH Term of The Fibonacci Sequence With Fib (1) 1 Fib (2) 1 Fib (3) 2 and So On

The document contains a student's work on several mathematics problems: 1) It calculates the population of a city in the Philippines in 20 years and 40 years using an exponential growth model. 2) It finds terms in the Fibonacci sequence and evaluates sums of successive terms. 3) It determines the length needed to cut a wooden board to observe the golden ratio, given the board's width.

Subject: Mathematics in the modern world Instructor: Kat Matociños

The exponential growth model A= 50e⁰.⁰⁷ť describes the population of a city in the Philippines in
thousand, t years after 1997.

A.) What is the population after 20 years?

I think “Growth model A=50e0.07t should read: A=50 * e^(0.07t). If that is correct, then:

A =50 * e^(0.07*20)

A =50 * e^1.4

A =50 * 4.05519997

A ==202.76 * 1000 ==202,760 population of the city 20 years after 1997, or in 2017.

B.) What is the population in 2037?

T= 2037-1997= 40

T=40 and subtitute to formula:

A= 50*e^0.07*40

A= 50*e^2.8

A= 822.2...

Since A is measured in thousands A must be multiplied by 1000 to get a population. 822.2*1000=


822,200 - the population of the philippines in 2037

II. Let fib(n) be the nth term of the fibonacci sequence with fib(1)=1 fib(2)=1 fib(3)=2 and so on.

1. Find Fib (19) = 4181

2. Fib (23) = 2865 If what you say is correct. That is Fib(22) = 17711 and Fib 24 = 46368

And, Given: Fib(n +2) = Fib(n) + Fib(n + 1) .We have : Fib (24) = Fib(22) + Fib(23) => Fib(23) = Fib(24) -
Fib(22) = 46368 - 17711 = 28657
3. Evaluate the following sums:

A.) Fib(1) + Fib(2) = 2

B.) Fib(2) + Fib(3) = Fib(4) = 6

C.) Fib(4) + Fib(5) + Fib(6) = 16

4. Determine the patterns in the successive sums from the previous questions. What will be the sum of
Fib(1) + Fib (2) + ... + Fib (10) ?

Answer -The tenth Fibonacci number is Fib(10) =55 . The sum of its digits is 5+5 or 10 and that is also the
index number of 55 (10-th in the list of Fibonacci numbers).

5. If you have a wooden board that is 0.75 meters wide, how long should you cut it such that the golden
ratio is observed. Use 1.618 as the value of the golden ratio.

Answer: For a rectangle, length/width=golden ratio

width=0.75

Let the length be x.

x/0.75=1.618

x=0.75*1.618=(3/4)*1.618=3*0.4045=1.2135.

Length of the rectangle is 1.2135 metres.
