2. The relation Fn+2 = Fn+1 + Fn holds for all integers n and hence so does Fn+3 = Fn+2 + Fn+1. Combine these two formulas to find an expression for Fn+3 in terms of Fn+1 and Fn.

3. Find r, given that Fr = 2F101 + F100.

4. Express F157 + 2F158 in the form Fs.

5. Show the following:

(a) F4 = 3F1 + 2F0.

(b) F5 = 3F2 + 2F1.

6. Add corresponding sides of the formulas of the previous problem and use this to show that F6 = 3F3 + 2F2.

7. Express Fn+4 in terms of Fn+1 and Fn.

8. Find s, given that Fs = 3F200 + 2F199.

9. Find t, given that Ft = 5F317 + 3F316.

10. Find numbers a and b such that Fn+6 = aFn+1 + bFn for all integers n.

11. Show the following:

(a) F0 + F2 + F4 + F6 = F7 - 1.

(b) F0 + F2 + F4 + F6 + F8 = F9 - 1.

(c) F1 + F3 + F5 + F7 = F8.

(d) F1 + F3 + F5 + F7 + F9 = F10.

12. The relation Fn+2 = Fn+1 + Fn can be rewritten as Fn+1 = Fn+2 - Fn. Use this form to find a compact expression for Fa + Fa+2 + Fa+4 + Fa+6 + ... + Fa+2m.

13. Find p, given that Fp = F1 + F3 + F5 + F7 + ... + F701.

14. Find u and v, given that Fu - Fv = F200 + F202 + F204 + ... + F800.

15. Show the following:

(a) F4 = 3F2 - F0.

(b) F5 = 3F3 - F1.

(c) F6 = 3F4 - F2.
