Abstract

In this paper, we consider generalized Fibonacci quadratics and give solutions of them under certain conditions. For example, for odd number k, under condition n\!=\!U_{k}^{2}% \left(V_{k}V_{k(4n+1)}\!-\!4\right), the equation

    \begin{equation*} nx^{2}+\left( V_{k}n-2U_{k}^{2}D\right) x-\left( n+DU_{k}^{2}\left( V_{k}+2\right) \right) =0 \end{equation*}

has rational roots.
