Opening the bracket and rearranging terms we get :
x 2 = x + 1 (i) Multiplying both sides by x we get
x 3 = x 2 + x Using (i) we get
x 3 = ( x + 1 ) + x = 2 x + 1 Squaring both sides to get
x 6 = 4 x 2 + 4 x + 1 Again using (i) we get
x 6 = 4 ( x + 1 ) + 4 x + 1 = 8 x + 5
Of course one can generalise the fact(and prove it by induction) that :
x n = F n + 1 x + F n where F n is the n t h term of fibbonaci series
