What did I do wrong in the proof by mathematical induction of $f_{2n+1}=f^2_{n+1}+f^2_n$?

@dxiv Yes, but in that example they proof by n=k, and i want to prove it by n=k+1 – WinstonCherf Jan 22 '18 at 19:43

When $n=k+1$, you get $f_{2k+3}$, not $f_{2k+2}$. – Jan 22 '18 at 19:43

@user8734617 Yes, correct! – WinstonCherf Jan 22 '18 at 19:44

@LeneCoenen Not sure what you mean by that. It's the same identity, and the question has a number of answers posted. See more duplicates here and here for example. – dxiv Jan 22 '18 at 19:50

Dear Lene, why don't you check for duplicates before posting? – Dietrich Burde Jan 22 '18 at 19:58
