A197762 Decimal expansion of sqrt(1/phi), where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. 5

%N Decimal expansion of sqrt(1/phi), where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio.

%C The hyperbolas y^2-x^2=1 and xy=1 meet at (1/c,c) and (-1/c,c), where c=sqrt(golden ratio); see the Mathematica program for a graph; see A189339 for hyperbolas meeting at (c,1/c) and (-c,-1/c).

%C This number is the eccentricity of an ellipse inscribed in a golden rectangle. - _Jean-François Alcover_, Sep 03 2015

%C c/sqrt(-1) is the limit of Pi(a;n)/2 := a^n * sqrt(a - f(a;n)) with f(a;0) = 0, and f(a;n) = sqrt(a + f(a;n-1)) for n >= 1, if one takes a = 1. For a=2 this gives Viète's formula for Pi/2 (see A019669). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 06 2018
