14. The Fibonacci sequence is defined by 1 = a1 = a2 and an= an – 1 + an – 2, n > 2. Find , for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
14. Given, a1=1=a2.
an=an – 1+an – 2,n>2.
We need to find,
Putting n=3,4,5,6 in an=an – 1+an – 2 we have,
a3=a3 – 1+a3 – 2=a2+a1=1+1=2.
a4=a4 – 1+a4 – 2=a3+a2=2+1=3.
a5=a5 – 1+a5 – 2=a4+a3=3+2=5.
a6=a6 – 1+a6 – 2=a5+a4=5+3=8.
Now, to find ,
Substitute n=1,2,3,4,5.

First term = a
Common difference = d
Given: a + 5d = 2 . (1)
Product (P) = (a1a5a4) = a (a + 4d) (a + 3d)
Using (1)
P = (2 – 5d) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
-> = (2 – 5d) (2 –d) (– 2) + (2 – 5d) (2 – 2d) (– 1) + (– 5) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
= –2 [ (d – 2) (5d – 2) + (d – 1) (5d – 2)
