The Fibonacci sequence is defined as:
Fib(1) = 0
Fib(2) = 1
Fib(N) = Fib(N-1) + Fib(N-2)
The Fibonacci sequence can be generalized as follows:
Fib_gen(1) = a
Fib_gen(2) = b
Fib_gen(N) = Fib_gen(N-1) + Fib_gen(N-2)
where 0 <= a <= b
Moreover it can be shown that
Fib_gen(N) = k(1) * Fib(N) + k(2) * Fib(N+1)
Given a and b find k(1) and k(2).

It is true that Fib_gen(N) = k(1) * Fib(N) + k(2) * Fib(N+1) for some k, but the problem is actually requesting Fib_gen(N) = k(2) * Fib(N) + k(1) * Fib(N-1) for another k. If one is still in doubt, generate the two sequences and look at the expected answer.
