It seems so. Thanks for the reply.

Sage can solve the equation $8^t =37$ for $t$:

solve( (8)^t ==37, t )

But strangely, cannot solve $\left(\frac 89\right)^t =37$

solve( (8/9)^t ==37, t )

Any ideas?

Please see the following code. Why is a==b False? Thanks!

Input:

a=n(1/2*sqrt(5) - 1/2,digits=15)
b=n(1-a^2,digits=15)
print a
print b
a==b

Output:

0.618033988749895
