Prove that
√(1+√(1+√(1+√(1+...))) = 1+1/(1+1/(1+1/(1+...)))
Let the LHS = x
Then x^2 = 1 + x or x^2 - x -1 = 0 ........ (Eqtn 1)
Let the RHS = y.
Then y = 1 + 1/y or y^2 - y - 1 = 0 ........ (Eqtn 2)
Eqtns 1 and 2 are quadratics with the same solutions, so the LHS = RHS.
The solutions are phi, the Golden Ratio = (1 +- sqr(5) )/2.
