Fibonaccish ratio (Posted on 2015-12-07) Difficulty: 3 of 5
It is a very well known mathematical fact that the limiting ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence [F0=0, F1=1, Fn=Fn-1+Fn-2] is Ļ†=(1+āˆš5)/2 as nā†’āˆž.

Suppose we generalize the definition of the sequence to:
Fn=AFn-1+BFn-2.

Find an expression for the limiting ratio of consecutive terms (in terms of A and B.)

Find formulas for A and B to make the limiting ratio any whole number N.
