Paper 4, Section II, I
(i) What is meant by the continued fraction expansion of a real number ? Suppose that has continued fraction . Define the convergents to and give the recurrence relations satisfied by the and . Show that the convergents do indeed converge to .
[You need not justify the basic order properties of finite continued fractions.]
(ii) Find two solutions in strictly positive integers to each of the equations
