What is Fibonacci sequence conclusion?
There is no conclusion to the Fibonacci sequence - it continues on infinitely.
The conclusion is that successive terms tend to a constant ratio with one another. So if a is one term, the next is ar and the one after that is ar2. Then from the rule that any term is the sum of the previous two, ar2=ar +a, which means r2-r-1=0 so r =(1+sqrt5)/2 (the golden ratio). There is no end to this series.
