Let g 0 , g 1 , g 2 , . . . , g n be a sequence satisfying the Fibonacci recurrence relation such that g n = g n − 1 + g n − 2 g 0 = 2 , g 1 = − 1 where 2 ≤ n Find g 4 9 6 and enter the last two digits. You may use a computational engine if and only if you found the general formula. Before it was the first perfect number now it's the third!

. We're sorry about the hassle.
also note that g 4 9 6 = f 4 9 4 where f 4 9 4 denotes the 4 9 4 t h Fibonacci term

Actually, g 4 9 6 = F 4 9 3 .

Since it follows the Fibonacci recurrence relation, then the general formula would be in the form of g n = a ( 2 1 + 5 ) n + b ( 2 1 − 5 ) n Now the first two terms given represent: a + b = 2 a ( 2 1 + 5 ) + b ( 2 1 − 5 ) = − 1 Solving this system, we get: a = ( 5 5 − 2 ) a n d b = ( 5 5 + 2 ) Thus, the formula for g n is g n = ( 5 5 − 2 ) ( 2 1 + 5 ) n + ( 5 5 + 2 ) ( 2 1 − 5 ) n Using Wolfram, we get the last two digits ⟹ 1 3
