The Fibonacci Sequence is defined as the first two elements being 1, and all successive elements being the summation of the previous two elements. Base Parts: Fib(1) =96> True Fib(1) =3D 1; as per definition. Fib(2) =96> True Fib(2) =3D 1; as per definition Induction part: Fib(N) =96> Fib(N+1) Given: Fib(N) =3D Fib(N-1) + Fib(N-2); as per definition and Fib(N) =3D Fib(N); mathematical identity Fib(N) + Fib(N-1); Add Fib(N-1) to both sides, retaining equality; =3D Fib(N) + Fib(N-1) =3D Fib(N+1-1) + Fib(N+1-2) =3D Fib(N+1) Therefore, Fib(N) =96> Fib(N+1).
