I need HELP with this question. Please don't just post te answer I need help figuring it out.

"List the first eight terms of the sequence formed by finding the differences of successive terms in the fibonacci sequence."

Really need help on this. Dx

@icymuffin

Wow, you're on! 😱
Time to read the question now. xD

Too bad I've never taken Geometry. Well, yet. o_o
So yeah...
Maybe Icy knows? She's apparently older than both of us...?

Hi Whitefall! 😃 Lol, yeah. Just on and doing my HW.

Is she on? 😱 To lazy to check. XD

The answer's there, but so is the explanation, so you're not ENTIRELY cheating. 😈 xD

hehe, I hope it's right, if not: just dig up something from the internet! Or ask some older users in college?

of the sequence formed...

XP
by finding the differences of successive terms...

o_0
in the Fibonacci sequence.

6_9
I think my brain is broken...

I just looked at the explanation. x3 Thanks!😃 I'll just hang around here in case someone can do it. ^^;

Taking Honors dual-credit pre-calculus this year... o-O;


GOOD LUCK. XD

@hai
Sorry! xD
Thanks, I'll really need the luck, I don't exactly enjoy math classes. XDD
I think that's what I'm taking Senior year... I forget. But I'm a sophomore now, so....

whitefall • 21 August 2011 at 8:42 PM

I'm taking (AP) Algebra II and Trigonometry for eight grade. ^^ Honorss math ftw~ xD

hai • 21 August 2011 at 8:45 PM

Honors are funnnnn~~~ xD

@Icymuffin Cometh!

whitefall • 21 August 2011 at 8:47 PM

@hai
Yay. xD Except I have to do finals & midterms for two years extra! (compared to students taking no honors math Dx)

Oh well....
That means I'll get into a good college! xD If I don't fail! xD

@icymuffin

icymuffin • 21 August 2011 at 8:48 PM

And even if I understand, I'm not good at explaining by the way... ><"
I fail at using words properly

hai • 21 August 2011 at 8:50 PM

I don't have to take finals if I have an A in that class. ^__^

whitefall • 21 August 2011 at 8:50 PM

@icymuffin
Faileth! Yayeth! /endeth/ xD

@hai
Uh, I'll dig up something from the Internet. >.>
Haha, I don't even know if it's a good answer of not because I don't take Geometry...XP YET o~o

EDIT: WHAT?!?! Lucky....

icymuffin • 21 August 2011 at 8:52 PM

@hai

There seems to be an answer that question online.
Is that section you're on about sequences? o^O

hai • 21 August 2011 at 8:54 PM

Yay! Thanks Icy! ;D

Hah, thanks. I wouldn't mind the answer right now though. Getting tired or reading it over again.

Edit: Yeah, patterns and inductive reasoning.

ANSWER: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/List_the_first_eight_terms_of_the_sequence_formed_by_finding_the_differences_of_successive_terms_in_the_Fibonacci_sequence

Uh, don't read it unless you've gotten an answer and are only CHECKING what other people said. D:

icymuffin • 21 August 2011 at 9:00 PM

So...
It's kinda like this:

Original sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 3-2, 5-3, 8-5, 13-8, 21-13
1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

Correct me if I'm wrong ><" I don't really get it either...

hai • 21 August 2011 at 9:02 PM

@Icymuffin

That looks about right. I understand it. ^^

@Whitefall

Thanks. Time to check. ;D

whitefall • 22 August 2011 at 11:51 AM

@hai

Haha. okay. xD
