Explanation of Solution

Given information: fn is a natural umber for all natural numbers n

Proof:

  1. Basis step:
  2.   n=1,n=2f1=1,f2=1

      f1 and f2 are natural numbers.

  3. Inductive step:
  4. Let n be a natural number, greater than 2, such that for all k{1,2,...,n},fk is natural number.

    Then,

      fn+1=fn+fn1, is a natural number, as a sum of natural numbers.

By, PCI (n)(fn is a natural number)

(b)

To determine

To prove: fn+6=4fn+3+fn for all natural numbers n .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: fn+6=4fn+3+fn for all natural numbers n

Calculation:

  1. Basis step:
  2.   n=1f1+6=f7=f6+f5=2f5+f4=3f4+2f3=3f4+ f 3+ f 2+f1=f4+f1f1+6=4f1+3+f1

  3. Inductive step:
  4. Let m be a natural number, such that for all k{1,2,...,m},fk+6=4fk+3+fk.

    Then,

      fm+1+6=fm+6+fm1+6=4fm+3+fm+4fm1+3+fm1=4fm+1+3+fm+1

By, PCI (n)(fn+6=4fn+3+fn)

(c)

To determine

To prove: for every natural number a,fafn+fa+1fn+1=fa+n+1 for all natural numbers n .

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: For every natural number a,fafn+fa+1fn+1=fa+n+1 for all natural numbers n

Calculation:

Let a be an arbitrary natural number.

  1. Basis step:
  2.   n=1faf1+fa+1f2=fa+fa+1=fa+1+1

  3. Inductive step:
  4. Let n be a natural number, such that for all k{1,2,...,m},fafk+fa+1fk+1=fa+k+1 .

    Then,

      fafn+1+fa+1fn+2=fa(fn+f n1)+fa+1(f n+1+fn)                         =fafn+fa+1fn+1+fafn1+fa+1fn                         =fa+n+1+fa+n                         =fa+n+1+1

By, the PCI (n)(fafn+fa+1fn+1=fa+n+1)

Since, a was arbitrary, (a)(n)(fafn+fa+1fn+1=fa+n+1)

(d)

To determine

To prove: for all natural numbers n that fn=ϕnρnϕρ .

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Let ϕ be the positive solution and ρ the negative solution to the equation x2=x+1 . (The values are ϕ=1+52 and ρ=152 .) Show for all natural numbers n that fn=ϕnρnϕρ .

Proof:

Let a be an arbitrary number.

  1. Basis step:
  2.   n=1ϕρϕρ=1=f1

      n=2ϕ2ρ2ϕρ=ϕ+ρ=1=f2

  3. Inductive step:
  4. Let n be a natural number, such that for all k{1,2,...,m},fk=ϕkρkϕρ . Then

      fn+1=fn+fn1=ϕnρnϕρ+ϕ n1ρ n1ϕρ=ϕ n1( ϕ+1)ρ n1( ρ+1)ϕρ      =ϕn+ϕ n1ρnρ n1ϕρ=(1),(2)ϕ n+1ρ n+1ϕρ

By, PCI (n)(fn=ϕnρnϕρ)

  1. ϕ+1=3+52=6+254=1+25+54=(ϕ+1)2,/li>
  2. ρ+1=352=6+254=125+54=(ϕ1)2

2. Consider the ODE u' = ƒ (u) = u² + r where r is a parameter that can take the values r = −1, −0.5, -0.1, 0.1. For each value of r: (a) Sketch ƒ(u) = u² + r and determine the equilibrium points. (b) Draw the phase line. (d) Determine the stability of the equilibrium points. (d) Plot the direction field and some sample solutions,i.e., u(t) (e) Describe how location of the equilibrium points and their stability change as you increase the parameter r. (f) Using the matlab program phaseline.m generate a solution for each value of r and the initial condition u(0) = 0.9. Print and turn in your result for r = −1. Do not forget to add a figure caption. (g) In the matlab program phaseline.m set the initial condition to u(0) = 1.1 and simulate the ode over the time interval t = [0, 10] for different values of r. What happens? Why? You do not need to turn in a plot for (g), just describe what happens.
True or False and why
