Properties of the super-golden ratio?

In summary, the Supergolden ratio, denoted as psi, is a solution to the equation x^3 = x^2 + 1. It is approximately equal to 1.46557123187675 and has square related recursive properties. It can also be calculated using a formula, as shown above. There are also two imaginary solutions to this equation.

The Supergolden ratio is the solution of x3=x2+1.

[tex]\psi = \left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\ \times 3^{{{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}} \right)^{{{1}\over{3}}} {{1}\over{9\,\left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\ \times3^{ {{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}}\right)^{{{1}\over{3}}}}} {{1}\over{ 3}}\approx 1.46557123187675[/tex]

Can anyone tell me some of its properties, Thanks.

Hmm, like the golden rectangle, the super golden rectangle has square related recursive properties:

-> Say you have the supergolden rect and you draw a line in it to make a square, then you dot a line from the corner of the rect/square to the opposite corner of the rect you will have an intersecting point. drawing a line across the not square part of your rectangle and you're left with a tall rect and the supergolden rect (a size down).

sorry I'm not better at explaining things, it's related to the cattle sequence and can't be made using a compass like the golden rect.

Could be, your formula is wrong ?
Anyway, the value is OK

See more at www.wolframalpha.com and enter:

Solve[x^3 == x^2 + 1, x]

For your convenience:

[itex]\psi = \frac{1}{6}*(2 + (116-12*\sqrt{93})^{\frac{1}{3}}+ (116+12*\sqrt{93})^{\frac{1}{3}})[/itex] ≈1.46557123187677

calculated via PB EXT arithmetic as:

e(1) = 116 - 12*SQR(93)
e(2) = 116 + 12*SQR(93)
result = (2+e(1)^(1/3)+e(2)^(1/3))/6.0

Perhaps I should note, that the equation has two additional (imaginary) solutions:

[itex]\frac{1}{12}*(4-\sqrt[3]{116-12*\sqrt{93}}-\sqrt[3]{116+12*\sqrt{93}}\pm \sqrt{3}*(\sqrt[3]{116-12*\sqrt{93}}-\sqrt[3]{116+12*\sqrt{93}})*I)[/itex]

The numerical approximative values are:

-0.232785615938384 [itex]\pm[/itex] 0.792551992515448 * I

I think I made a mistake. It should be

[tex]x= \left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2 \times 3^{{{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}} \right)^{{{1}\over{3}}} + {{1}\over{9\,\left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\times 3^{ {{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}}\right)^{{{1}\over{3}}}}}+ {{1}\over{ 3}} [/tex]
 

Related to Properties of the super-golden ratio?

1. What is the super-golden ratio?

The super-golden ratio, also known as the silver ratio or the reciprocal of the golden ratio, is a mathematical concept derived from the golden ratio. It is approximately equal to 0.618034, and is often represented by the Greek letter phi (φ). It is considered to be a special number in mathematics and has various applications in art, architecture, and nature.

2. How is the super-golden ratio calculated?

The super-golden ratio can be calculated by taking the reciprocal of the golden ratio, which is equal to (1 + √5) / 2. In other words, it is the inverse of the golden ratio.

3. What are the properties of the super-golden ratio?

The super-golden ratio shares some properties with the golden ratio, such as being an irrational number and having a never-ending decimal expansion. Additionally, it has been found to have unique properties in geometry, such as being the limit of the ratios of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci sequence.

4. How is the super-golden ratio used in art and architecture?

The super-golden ratio is often used in art and architecture to create aesthetically pleasing compositions. It is believed to be the most visually appealing ratio, and many famous pieces of art and architecture, such as the Parthenon in Greece, have been designed using this ratio.

5. Are there any real-world applications of the super-golden ratio?

Yes, the super-golden ratio has been found to have applications in various fields such as biology, music, and finance. In biology, it has been observed in the branching patterns of trees and the arrangement of leaves on a stem. In music, it is used to create harmonious melodies and compositions. In finance, it has been used to predict market trends and analyze stock prices.
