Harmonic and Fibonacci Sequence

The document discusses harmonic and Fibonacci sequences. [1] A harmonic sequence is a series of numbers where the difference between reciprocals is constant. [2] The nth term formula finds terms by taking reciprocals of an arithmetic sequence with a common difference. [3] A Fibonacci sequence is a series where each term is the sum of the previous two, starting with 0 and 1, following the formula Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2.

Harmonic Sequence

• A harmonic sequence, sometimes called a harmonic progression, is a


sequence of numbers such that the difference between the
reciprocals of any two consecutive terms is constant. In other
words, a harmonic sequence is formed by taking the reciprocals of
every term in an arithmetic sequence.

• FINDING THE NTH TERM FORMULA:


Common Difference of Harmonic Sequence

• The common difference is the difference between any two consecutive


numbers in the series. The common difference is denoted as ‘d’ and it
is the same in any progression. 
Harmonic Sequence Example

• Example: Find the A₁₃ of the harmonic sequence 1/9, 1/12, 1/15, 1/18,… 
• Get the reciprocal: 9, 12, 15, 18,…
• Find the common difference.
• d= A₂ - A₁
• d= 12 – 9
• d= 3

• Given: A₁ = 9     d= 3                   An= A₁ + (n-1)d                              A₁₃= 1/45


• N= 13       A₁₃= ?                                  A₁₃= 9 + (13-1)3

• Formula:                                    A₁₃= 9 + (12)3


• An= A₁ + (n-1)d                  A₁₃= 9 + 36
                                                   A₁₃= 45
                                                   Get the reciprocal
Fibonacci Sequence

• The Fibonacci sequence is a set of integers (the Fibonacci numbers)


that starts with a zero, followed by a one, then by another one, and
then by a series of steadily increasing numbers. The sequence
follows the rule that each number is equal to the sum of the preceding
two numbers.
• It begins 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and continues infinitely. 
• The Fibonacci formula is given as, Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2, where n > 1.
