4. 56, 46, 36, 26, _, _ ? Type of Sequence: ____________________
5. 2, 20, 200, 2000, _, _ ? Type of Sequence: ____________________

B. Compute for the following Fibonacci numbers and perform the given operation:
1. What if Fib (13) ?
2. What is Fib (20) ?
3. What is Fib (8) + Fib (9) ?
4. What is Fib (1) * Fib (7) + Fib (12) – Fib (6) ?
5. What is the sum of Fib (1) up to Fib (10) ?

C. Substitute the given information in the formula A = Pert to find the missing quantity.
1. P = 680,000; r = 12% per year; t = 8 years
2. A = 1,240,000; r = 8% per year; t = 30 years
3. A = 786,000; P = 247,000; t = 17 years
4. A = 731,093; P = 525,600; r = 3% per year
