%N Decimal approximation of x such that f(x)=1/2, where f is the Fibonacci function described in Comments.
%C f(x)=(r^x-r^(-x*cos[pi*x]))/sqrt(5), where r=(golden ratio)=(1+sqrt(5))/2. This function, a variant of the Binet formula, gives Fibonacci numbers for integer values of x; e.g., f(3)=2, f(4)=3, f(5)=5.
