%N Decimal expansion of solution to n/x = x-n for n = 7.

%C n/x = x-n with n=1 gives the Golden Ratio = 1.6180339887...

%C Equals n +n/(n +n/(n +n/(n +....))) for n = 7. See also A090388. - _Stanislav Sykora_, Jan 23 2014

%F n/x = x-n ==> x^2 - n*x - n = 0 ==> x = (n + sqrt(n^2 + 4*n)) / 2 (Positive Root) n = 7: x = (7 + sqrt(77))/2 = 7.88748219369606...
