Binet's Formula

After countless endeavors of searching for an nth term formula, the answer came in John A. Adam’s book: “Mathematics in Nature: Modeling Patterns in the Natural World”. On page 226, Adam reveals Binet’s formula, which connects terms in Fibonacci’s sequence to the golden mean: golden mean.PNG. Is this, however, equivalent to the formula we were trying to prove? Let’s find out.



Because the equations turned out to be true, both formulas are indeed the same, and so here I end the pursuit of an nth term formula with success.
