The ten first terms of the continued fraction above. n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 tn tn 2.00 1.50 1.67 1.60 1.63 1.62 1.62 1.62 1.62 1.62 The ten first terms of the sequence, which can be seen in Table 1, led me to the generalized formula for the sequence. However this sequence is not just a regular sequence, it is the Fibonacci sequence. And the Fibonacci sequence is a recursive sequence, which is a sequence in which a general term is defined as a fraction of one or more of the previous term. Graph 1. The value of...
