Modified Fibonacci golden nuggets
Consider the infinite polynomial series $A_G(x)=xG_1+x^2G_x+x^3G_3+\dots$, where $G_k$ is the $k$th term of the second order recurrence relation $G_k = G_{k-1}+G_{k-2}$, $G_1=1$ and $G_2=4$; that is, $1,4,5,9,14,23,\dots$ .
For this problem we shall be concerned with values of $x$ for which $A_G(x)$ is a positive integer.
The corresponding values of $x$ for the first five natural numbers are shown below.
$x$ | $A_G(x)$ |
---|---|
$\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$ | 1 |
$\frac{2}{5}$ | 2 |
$\frac{\sqrt{22}-2}{6}$ | 3 |
$\frac{\sqrt{137}-5}{14}$ | 4 |
$\frac{1}{2}$ | 5 |
We shall call $A_G(x)$ a golden nugget if $x$ is rational, because they become increasingly rarer; for example, the $20$th golden nugget is $211345365$.
Find the sum of the first thirty golden nuggets.
