Theorem 3.3.7 A closed formula for the Fibonacci numbers f1, f2.... is:
n

fn
= √/13 ((² + ✓ ³ ) " - (₁² = ~³) ").

Proof: We use partial fractions to find a closed formula for fn, given the
generating function g(x) from Theorem 3.3.5.
=
First, one may verify that that 1 - x - x² (1 ax) (1 - 3x), where
a = (1 + √5)/2 and 3 = (1 - √5)/2. Then we write
=

g(x) = (1-ax)(1-3x)

A(18x) + B(1-ax)

From this we deduce that A = 1/√5 and B = -A = -1/√5. So

Now let's use the series expansion for 1/(1-x) again, to write this as
g(x)
((1+ ax + a²x² + ...) - (1 + Bx +3²x² + ...))
((a-B)x+ (a²-3²) x² + ...).

The result follows by considering the coefficient of xn.
