Hi,
(reposting this from another thread)
I came across this:
It shows the formula for the golden ratio: (1+sqrt(5))/2
The formula I made is: (-x+sqrt((x*x+4)))/2
and their formula for the golden ratio is the same as my formula for x=-1, since 1.618.. is the reciprocal to the golden ratio, it is x=-1, instead of x=1 which gives the
0.618.. golden ratio.(--1+sqrt((-1*-1+4)))/2 (1+sqrt(1+4)/2 (1+sqrt(5)/2 that is 1.618..
So the (1+sqrt(5))/2 is a specific case of my formula for x=-1
cheers, Jamie
