"The combination is the seventh, ninth, and eleventh numbers in a sequence that begins 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, and so forth"
What is the combination?
I have a problem with this can you help?
The adjoning two numbers are added together.
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
2 + 3 = 5
and so on
This sequence is the Fibonacci sequence. Every number in this sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers:
1+1 = 2
1+2 = 3
2+3 = 5
3+5 = 8
5+8 = 13
The first seven numbers of the sequence are given, so to find the next four numbers add the two previous numbers.
Then you get:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89
So, the seventh, ninth, and eleventh numbers of this sequence are:
13,34 and 89
THANKS! I really didn't get it and everyone got it but me in my class.:D

Of course, I can help! To find the combination referred to in the given sequence, let's break it down step by step.
First, let's identify the seventh, ninth, and eleventh numbers in the sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...
The seventh number is 13, the ninth number is 34, and the eleventh number is 89.
So, the combination in this sequence is 13, 34, and 89.
