Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that both these points are in the form of (x, y). "x" indicates that on the left-right axis (x axis), the point is x units away from the origin (0, 0). "y" indicates that on the up-down axis (y axis), the point is y units away from the origin.

In (4, 6), x = 4 and y = 6. This means that the point (4, 6) is 4 units to the right of the origin and 6 units up (see red dot on attachment).

In (6, 4), x = 6 and y = 4. This means that the point (6, 4) is 6 units to the right of the origin and 4 units up (see blue dot on attachment).

As can be seen, these two points do NOT coincide, so they are different.

Answer:

Different translations about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

For (4,6), you go 4 units towards right from the origin and 6 units up

For (6,4), you go 6 units towards right from the origin and 4 units up

Since the no. of units traveled in a direction are different, you land at two different points

Answer:

$\large\boxed{F_1=1,\ F_2=1}\\\boxed{F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2},\qquad n\geq3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The Fibonacci sequence:}\\\\1,\ 1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 5,\ 8,\ 13,\ 21,\ 34,\ 55,\ ....\\\\F_1=1\\F_2=1\\F_3=F_2+F_1\to F_3=1+1=2\\F_4=F_3+F_2\to F_4=2+1=3\\F_5=F_4+F_3\to F_5=3+2=5\\F_6=F_5+F_4\to F_6=5+3=8\\F_7=F_6+F_5\to F_7=8+5=13\\F_8=F_7+F_6\to F_8=13+8=21\\\vdots\\F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$
