a) Use the formula found in Example 4 for fnthe nth

Chapter 11, Problem 41E

(choose chapter or problem)

a) Use the formula found in Example 4 for fn, the \(n\)th Fibonacci number, to show that \(f n\) is the integer closest to

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n}\)

b) Determine for which \(\mathrm{n}\) fn is greater than

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n}\)

and for which \(n\) fn is less than

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n}\)
