This is the Fibonacci sequence. It goes as follows:

a 1 = 0 , a 2 = 1 , a n + 1 = a n + a n 1 a_1 = 0, a_2 = 1, a_{n+1} = a_n + a_{n-1}

for n 2 n \geq 2 . From this, we can get that the next number is 34 + 21 = 55 34 + 21 = \boxed{55} .

dang it you beat me i was posting almost same solution i should not have re shared this problem ha ha @Sharky Kesa

0+1=1
1+1=2
2+3=5
.............
.............
21+34=55



This pattern above is the Fibonacci Sequence \text{Fibonacci Sequence} in which the previous numbers are added to give the next one.

The sequence is given as

F 0 = 0 , F 1 = 1 , , F n = F n 1 + F n 2 F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1, \cdots, F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}

for all n > 1 , n>1, so the desired answer is 34 + 21 = 55 34+21=\boxed{55}

Fibonacci series. 3rd number is the sum of first two numbers.

x k = x k-1 + x k-2 , k=2,3,... With x 0=0 and x1=1

its simply the fibonacci sequence. the following number is the previous 2 numbers added together. so in this case x= 21+34= 55

This is fibonacci series as it is obtained by adding the 2 previous number

Add the previous number with the next pervious number and you get the next number IE. a,b,? = a+b=?

Fibonacci sequence. Each number is the result of adding the previous.

Got to love the old fibonacci sequences, next time solve for what the whole equation would equal

34 + 21 = 55

Its simply Fibonacci. If you don't know the sequence, add the two most recent numbers, and you get the next number.

for getting nth term just add the terms (n-1) and (n-2)

we can get that the next number is 34 + 21 = 55
