what is the plastic ratio?

what is the plastic ratio? I define the plastic number and explain its properties, first as a cubic equation and a Fibonacci sequence to count bunnies, then as a fractal cube root with self similarities, and finally a cool formula with hyperbolic cosine function substitution. This is a cool journey through algebra, polynomials, inverse functions, and calculus.
Proof that I did it before mathologer: • Plastic Number
0:00 Introduction
0:36 Fibonacci
1:45 Fractal
3:10 Hyperbolic trig

    I love cosh³(x) and sech³(x) trig identities :p they are very important/handy in self-trapping problems, like describing polarons (self-trapped electrons in a metal). Didn't know the plastic ratio has them too, pretty cool indeed :D

    in base phi, it's possible to express all integers in a finite form, which is really rare for an irrational base: 1->1, 2->1.11=10.01, 3->11.01=100.01, 4->101.01. An interesting property, of course, being that no number expressed in base phi ever needs to have adjacent ones, due to the relation: 100 = 11. So what about base rho? sqrt = lambda i: i**0.5 cuberoot = lambda i: i**(1/3) rho = cuberoot(1/2 - sqrt(69)/18) + cuberoot(1/2 + sqrt(69)/18) rho**3 == rho+1 so in base rho, 1000 = 11, which means... 1->1, 2->100.00001, 3->101.00001, 4->10000.1000000101, 5->10100.0000000101 1 takes 1, 2 takes 2, 3 takes 3, 4 takes 4, 5 takes 4, 6 takes 5, and i think 7 cannot be written in non-adjacent form in finitely many digits.

    I have no idea why you would think that 7 couldn't be written in non-adjacent form in finitely many digits (the substitutions 0011=1000 and 00200000=10000001 will inevitably create a non-adjacent form, though they grow in length much more quickly than in base phi) In any case, I worked it out by hand and got 1000000.1010100101 for 7, which I confirmed using a calculator.

    I love how if cosh were to be linear for scalars you could take that 3 out the inner arccosh, cancel it with the 1/3, then cancel the cosh and arccosh between themselves, and finally the fractions to just get 1! So tempting!

Unfortunately, they don't mention you either 😢. So if you confirm that you came up with it before Gérard Cordonnier in 1924, I'll make the necessary edit to Wikipedia and submit a correction request to Wolfram. 👍

    Gary Austin's formula can give you a precise value to as many digits as your calculating device will allow. As an alternative, if you have a calculator with an "Ans" key and a "³√" key, you can use an iterative formula: Press "1" then press "=". Type in "³√(1+Ans)", then press "=" repeatedly until the result stays constant somewhere near 1.324717957244746. The rate of convergence is a bit slow, but it works well. You can just about do it with the Windows calculator, but it's a much more elaborate and drawn-out process.

    There's no such thing as ARCcosh. It's ARcosh, that is, the Hyperbolic ARea COmplementary Sine function. Since it's area cosh, it's not arc cosh, so we get arcosh as the abbreviation. The full name of the regular arccos function is, in case you wondered, [circular] ARC COmplementary Sine function. As for why it's area vs arc, just think about what's happening geometrically. The hyperbolic functions represent the area under a curve, whereas the circular functions represent an arclength.

    Interesting, using the hyperbolic trigonometry isn't familiar to me for solving 3rd degree equation. Using classic trigonometry is more well known in the case the discriminant is 0 sqrt(D)=1/2sqrt(23/27) D>0 then E admits only one real solution such as x=u+v with u=(-q'+sqrt(D))^(1/3) and v=(-q'-sqrt(D))^(1/3) then u=[1/2(1+sqrt(23/27))]^(1/3) #0,986991206 and v=[1/2(1-sqrt(23/27))]^(1/3) #0,337726751 Then x=u+v # 1,324717957 as the plastic ratio Which leads to the same approx value when computing video formula x=2/sqrt(3)cosh[1/3arccosh(3sqrt(3)/2)]

    Phee for phi sounds horrible in England. Same with bayta, thayta. I call this "modern" thing wikipedantry. You don't have to spell and say everything the same way as the source language. (To be fair the US pronunciations are probably inherited from French or German, not modernised in that sense). Actually when I had students they pronounced both phi and theta as "thi" (long i). Compromising I guess :-))
