COMMENTS

This is the angle (in radians) at which the modified loop curve x^4=x^2*y-y^2 returns to the origin. Writing the curve in (r,phi) circular coordinates, r = sin(phi) * (cos^2(phi)-sin(phi)) /cos^4(phi), the two values of r=0 are phi=0 and the value of phi defined here. The equivalent angle of the Bow curve is Pi/4.

Also the minimum positive solution to tan(x) = cos(x). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 17 2014

FORMULA

x = arcsin(A094214). cos(x)^2 = sin(x) = 0.618033988... = A094214.

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 07 2022: (Start)

Equals Pi/2 - A195692.

Equals arccos(1/sqrt(phi)).

Equals arctan(1/sqrt(phi)) = arccot(sqrt(phi)). (End)

Root of the equation cos(x) = tan(x). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 06 2022

EXAMPLE

x = 0.66623943.. = 38.1727076... degrees.
