In quadratic forms, the golden mean can be written as x+x-1=0 if x is less than unity or as x-x-1=0 if x is greater than unity. Equivalently, the first is given by equating (1/x)=x+1 and the second is given by equating (1/x)=x/(1+x). However, equating (x+1)= x/(1+x) would not make any sense unless x is complex. Nonetheless, (1/x)=x/(1+x) is simply the same as equating f(x)= g(x). Further analyses give the following results: (1) the derivative of f(x) is -1/x (2) the derivative of g(x) is 1/(1+x) (3) the limit of f(x) as x®0 is undefined (4) the limit of g(x) as x®0 is zero (5) the limit of f(x) as x®infinity is zero (6) the limit of g(x) as x®infinity is unity (7) the integral of f(x) is ln|x| ( the integral of g(x) is x-ln|1+x|. Coincidently or maybe not, the clincher is that the natural base of logarithm is defined as the limit of the x-power of the reciprocal of g(x) as x®infinity. |
You took the words right out of my mouth here,remarkable?
Now when this is "toned down will it reveal an opening?
