2. (The Golden Ratio) The Golden Ratio is a value that has been observed in nature to describe multiple phenomena once thought to be completely random. Some instances of its existence are the ratio of the Fibonacci Numbers, the proportions of the human body, the spiral of a sea shell, and the arrangement of pine seeds in a pine cone! If we let x be any value such that x>1> 0 be any value, the Golden Ratio is defined to be the solution that is, the ratio of x + 1 and xis x itself. x+1 to the equation a. x+1 and Derive the polynomial equation for the Golden Ratio by Solving the equation provide an exact solution. NO DECIMALS. (You will need to use the Quadratic Equation) Use the Newton's Method Calculator to provide an b. From above, the solution is p E 1+√5 estimate to p= Use xo = .75 and find the first 5 iterations of Newton's Method and 2 provide the table of values (x). Verify your answer by finding a numerical answer to p.
