To divide the straight line AB (containing a units) at C so that
By algebra, taking the positive root,
The number p may therefore have any positive value, integral or fractional, and when negative cannot exceed ¼. Secondly, AC and AB are incommensurable except when 4p +1 is a square:– e.g., if 4p = (q – l)(q +1) or if p = q(q+l), q being any positive integer or fraction.
