Problem 17E

Prove this identity relating the Fibonacci numbers and the binomial coefficients:

fn+1 = C (n,0) + C(n – 1,1) + ...+ C(n – k,k). where n is a positive integer and k =[n/2]. [Hint: Let an = C (n,0) + C(n – 1,1) + ...+ C(n – k,k). Show that the sequence {an} satisfies the same recurrence relation and initial conditions satisfied by the sequence of Fibonacci numbers.]
