Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
proof by mathematical induction
0,1,1,2,3,5.8.13,21,34,...
1+3+9=14
F1=0
0+1=1=F1
1+1=2=F2
1+2=3=F3
sum 1st 3 squared 14=5(3)-1=F3F4-1=15-1
2+3=5=F4
3+5=8
sum 1st 4 squared = 39 =F5F4-1= 40-1
assume true for any Fk-1
then show true for Fk
1+2+3+5+...+Fk-2 +Fk-1 = Fk-2Fk-1 -1
show
1+2+3+5...+Fk-2 + Fk-1 +Fk = Fk-1Fk -1
=Fk-2Fk-1 -1 + Fk=Fk-1(Fk-2) -1
Fk-2Fk-1 = Fk-2Fk-1
