%F Equals (1 + (A^2 + sqrt(A^4 - 16*u*A^2 + 2*A))/A)/4 with A = sqrt(8*u + 3/2), u = (-(Bp/2)^(1/3) + (Bm/2)^(1/3)*(1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2 - 3/8)/6, with Bp = 27 + 3*sqrt(3*283), Bm = 27 - 3*sqrt(3*283), and i = sqrt(-1). (Standard computation of a quartic.) The other (negative) real root -A230151 is obtained by using in the first formula the negative square root. The other two complex roots are obtained by replacing A by -A in these two formulas. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 19 2022
