I am stuck on a question about a continued fraction, which is to find the EXACT value of:
[5;6,5,6,5,6,5...]
can somebody do that for me please?
If you are not sure what that means, go to this website and take a look
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%BF%9E%E5%88%86%E6%95%B0
To give an example, I have done another one that is
sqrt(6+sqrt(6+sqrt(6+sqrt(6...))))
and my solution to that one was
let x be the number
so x^2 = 6+sqrt(6+sqrt(6+sqrt(6...))))
and that means x^2 = x + 6
and I solved the quadratic equation of x^2+x+6=0
I have to hand this in tomorrow so please help me!!
