Question 16

Let $$ y = \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+…}}}}$$. Then y equals?

Solution

$$ y = \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+…}}}}$$

which is equal to $$ y = \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+y}} $$ solving we get

$$ y = \frac{3+y}{7+2y} $$ we get

$$2y^2+6y-3=0$$ .

Solution of this equation is $$\frac{\sqrt{15}-3}{2}$$.
