Is the series of numbers 2,3,5,8,13,21 ... a fibronacci sequence ? Because it doesn't start with 1 , but it fulfills the explicit formula .

I don't know , but from wikipedia , it says Fibronacci starts from either 0,1 or 1,1 but is 2,3,5,8,13,21... a Fibronacci sequence it remains unknown for me ..PeroK said:How do you define a Fibonacci sequence?
I guess it depends on author and purpose whether only the classical sequence is meant or all possible. I looked up "generalized Fibonacci sequence" and found, e.g. http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibGen.htmlLing Min Hao said:I don't know , but from wikipedia , it says Fibonacci starts from either 0,1 or 1,1 but is 2,3,5,8,13,21... a Fibronacci sequence it remains unknown for me ..
A question like this is entirely definition dependent. If you allow a Fibonacci sequence to have any two initial terms, then it is. If not, then it's not. Or, in this case, it is simply not the full sequence.Ling Min Hao said:I don't know , but from wikipedia , it says Fibronacci starts from either 0,1 or 1,1 but is 2,3,5,8,13,21... a Fibronacci sequence it remains unknown for me ..
A Fibronacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The sequence starts with 0 and 1, and the subsequent numbers are calculated by adding the previous two numbers together (0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, and so on).
A Fibronacci sequence can be identified by looking for the pattern of adding the two previous numbers to get the next number. For example, in the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers (0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, and so on).
A Fibronacci sequence has several characteristics, including:
Yes, Fibronacci sequences are found in nature, particularly in the patterns of growth and reproduction in plants and animals. They are also used in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and finance.
A Fibronacci sequence can be generated by starting with 0 and 1, and then continuously adding the two previous numbers to get the next number. This can be done manually or using a computer program or calculator.
