# --description--
|
||
|
||
Consider the infinite polynomial series AG(x) = xG1 + x2G2 + x3G3 + ..., where Gk is the kth term of the second order recurrence relation Gk = Gk−1 + Gk−2, G1 = 1 and G2 = 4; that is, 1, 4, 5, 9, 14, 23, ... .
|
||
|
||
For this problem we shall be concerned with values of x for which AG(x) is a positive integer.
|
||
|
||
The corresponding values of x for the first five natural numbers are shown below.
|
||
|
||
xAG(x) (√5−1)/41 2/52 (√22−2)/63 (√137−5)/144 1/25
|
||
|
||
We shall call AG(x) a golden nugget if x is rational, because they become increasingly rarer; for example, the 20th golden nugget is 211345365. Find the sum of the first thirty golden nuggets.

`euler140()` should return 5673835352990.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(euler140(), 5673835352990);
