Simplify:
LET Y = 1+(1/(1+(1/(1+(1/(1+(1/x)))))))
IS IT TO INFINITE TERMS? IF SO,WE CAN SAY THAT
Y = 1+ 1/Y AS THE NUMBER OF TERMS ARE UP TO INFINITY
Y^2-Y-1=0




if that makes no sense, it's also written something like (ignore the periods):
1+ ________1________
.......1+ ______1______
..............1+ ____1____
......................1+ (1/x)
