Question:

(a) Show that the Maclaurin series of the function

where fn is the nth Fibonacci number, that is, f1 = 1, f2 = 1, and fn = fn–1 + fn2 for n ≥ 3. Find the radius of convergence of the series.

(b) By writing f(x) as a sum of partial fractions and thereby obtaining the Maclaurin series in a different way, find an explicit formula for the nth Fibonacci number.
