%F Equals ((3*phi + 1)*xi*(xi + 1) - phi/6 - 2)/sqrt(3*xi^2 - phi^2) = (A090550*xi*(xi + 1) - A134946 - 2)/sqrt(3*xi^2 - A104457), where phi = A001622 and xi = A377849.

%F Equals the real root closest to 37 of 2176782336*x^12 - 3195335070720*x^10 + 162223191936000*x^8 + 1030526618040000*x^6 + 6152923794150000*x^4 - 182124351550575000*x^2 + 187445810737515625.
