The Fibonacci sequence is defined by $$F_{n+2}=F_n+F_{n+1},F_1=F_2=1.$$

Properties

Theorem: The following series holds and converges for all $|x| \leq \dfrac{1}{\phi}$, where $\phi$ denotes the golden ratio: $$\dfrac{x}{1-x-x^2} = \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} F_k x^k.$$

Proof: proof goes here █
