SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding the limit of the sequence defined by \( a_n = \frac{F_n}{F_{n+1}} \), where \( F_n \) represents the Fibonacci sequence. A proposed method involves verifying the limit using mathematical induction and applying the closed-form expression for Fibonacci numbers, known as Binet's formula. The limit can be computed directly as \( \lim_{n\to \infty} a_n = \frac{1}{\phi} \), where \( \phi \) is the golden ratio, approximately 1.618.
