Solve the following recurrences. If base cases are provided, find an
exact
closed-form solution.
Otherwise, find a solution of the form
Θ(
f
(
n
))
for some function
f
.

Warmup:
You should be able to solve these almost as fast as you can write down the answers.

The
Fibonacci numbers
F
n
are defined recursively as follows:
F
0
=
0,
F
1
=
1, and
F
n
=
F
n
-
1
+
F
n
-
2
for every integer
n
≥
2. The first few Fibonacci numbers are 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,
....
Prove that any non-negative integer can be written as the sum of distinct
non-consecutive
Fibonacci numbers. That is, if any Fibonacci number
F
n
appears in the sum, then its neighbors
