Wrong
what is rightWrong
((1 +sqrt5)/2) to the power of 4 or 6.85410196625what is right
I thought that root 4 would be 2, then 1/2 is 0.5, 0.5 + 0.5 = 1. Over for mathcels((1 +sqrt5)/2) to the power of 4
CorrectYou can write it as 1/x^(1/2)+1/x^(1/4)=1
Which is just
x^(-1/2)+x^(-1/4)=1
k=x^(-1/4)
k^2+k-1=0
k=-1/2(+/-)sqrt(5)/2
k^4=1/x
Which gives x=6.85
