Also the authors showed that the terms of the sequece {q } are give by the exteded Biet s formula 3) q = a 1 ξ) ) ξ) 2 ) α β α β where α ad β are roots of the quadratic equatio x 2 x = 0 ad α > β. These sequeces arise i a atural way i the study of cotiued fractios of quadratic irratioals ad combiatorics o words or dyamical system theory. Some well-kow sequeces are special cases of this geeralizatio. The Fiboacci sequece is a special case of {q } with a = b = 1. Whe a = b = 2 we obtai the Pell s sequece {P }. Eve further if we set a = b = k for some positive iteger k we obtai the k-fiboacci sequece {F k }. Usig the exteded Biet s formula 3) Edso ad Yayeie [2] derived a umber of mathematical properties icludig geeralizatios of Cassii s Catala s ad d Ocage s idetities for the Fiboacci sequece Yayeie [11] obtaied umerous ew idetities of {q } ad Zhag ad Wu [12] studied the partial ifiite sums of reciprocal of {q }. Jag ad Ju [7] give liearlizatio of the sequece {q }. I [9] the authors obtaied complex factorizatio formulas for the Fiboacci Pell ad k-fiboacci umbers by usig the determiats of sequeces of tridiagoal matrices. They used the tridiagoal matrices 1 2i i 1 i i 1...... i 2i 1 2 2i i i 2...... i 2i 2 k i i k i i k...... i i k

With the aid of factorizatio 5) ad 6) of Chebyshev polyomials of the secod kid we derive the complex factorizatios of the sequece {q }. Lemma 3.1.
