[Solved] A problem with Golden ratio in Wolfram|Alpha ?

Posted 6 years ago

I just tried to find with Wolfram|Alpha a possible closed form of this number : 0.61803398875 .

( https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0.61803398875 )

The answer for Wolfram is :

1/Φ - 1≈0.618033988749894

Φ≈0.618033988749894

So I would like to know what is Φ for Wolfram.

Thank you.

Wolfram's knowledge base is wrong when it comes to what the Golden Ratio Conjugate is, as of 2/25/25. Wolfram states that the value is roughly .618033988749894, when in all actuality the value is the negative of that value. That is, the value is approximately -0.618033988749894

The formula for the GR and the GRC is as follows: x² - x - 1 = 0 which solves as... (1 ± √5) / 2 which solves as (approximately)... 1.61803398875 (Golden Ratio) and -0.61803398874 (Golden Ratio Conjugate)

Enjoy!

Ok, it is just the golden ratio conjugate.
