    4:43 There must be a way of finding solutions to problems like this without so much work.
    ((√5−1)/2)^2 is ((5+1) -2(√5*1))/4 =(3 -√5)/2
    in general
    ((a+b√5)/2)² =
    [(a²+5b²)/2 + ab√5]/2
    note that if we start with a and b odd then aa and bb are odd thus the expression aa +5bb is even and so we will stay with integers
    so with that formula x²= ((a+b√5)/2)² = [(a²+5b²)/2 + ab√5]/2
    we can set out a table
    power 1 a =-1 b =1
    2 a

      Find the cube, then square the result 3 times. It's a lot easier.

    @ 4:02 Once you rationalize the inside fraction... set a = (√5 - 1)/2
    Then 2a + 1 = √5
    4a² + 4a + 1 = 5
    4a² + 4a - 4 = 0
    a² + a - 1 = 0
    So, a² = 1 - a .
    [^^ This is a little "nicer" reduction than the x in your solution]
    The rest:
    a³ = a² * a = (1 - a)a = a - a² = a - (1-a) = 2a - 1
    a⁶ = (a³)² = (2a - 1)² = 4a² - 4a + 1
    = 4(1-a) - 4a + 1 = 5 - 8a
    a^12 = (a⁶)² = (5 - 8a)² = 25 - 80a + 64a²
    = 25 - 80a + 64(1-a)
    = 89 - 144a
    a^24 = (a^12)² = (89 - 144a)²
    = 89² - 2(89)(144)a + 144²a²
    = 7921 - 25632a + 20736(1-a)
    = 28657 - 46368a
    = 28657 - 46368 [(√5 - 1)/2 ]
    ...
    = 51841 - 23184√5
    Done!

      a² = 1 - a is obvious, because the base is known as 1 / φ = φ - 1 (Golden Ratio). So we want φ^-24.

    1+1=?
    set x=1
    1+1=x+x=2x
    so 1+1=2

    This is not “simplify”, it makes it more complicate.

    a.a.a = 3a
    Y tú pusiste
    a.a.a = 5a
    a= raiz de 5

    Peace be upon you ,it could be solved through logarithm , it would be easier !

      No it isn't. But you can round it to 0.00001 != 0.

      @AlreschaAndromeda The answer is also 1 / (103682 - 0.000009644875678449)! Picture this!

      @AlreschaAndromeda: No, your number is merely an approximate.
