Golden and Silver ratios, how about the roots of $x^2+x-1=0$?

The golden and silver ratios are the roots of the equation $x^2-x-1=0$: $$\frac{1\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}.$$ They show up in the formula of Fibonacci numbers: $$F_n=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^n+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^n$$

Are the roots of the equation $x^2+x-1=0$ any significant and do they have some special names: $$\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{5}}{2}?$$

• The silver ratio is $1+\sqrt{2}$. – Raskolnikov Jun 25 '18 at 16:42
• Changing the equation from $x^2-x-1=0$ to $x^2+x-1=0$ just changes the signs of the two roots, so they don't need much of a separate naming from the golden ratio. One just needs a bit of care in explaining an application of them. – hardmath Jun 25 '18 at 16:46
• @Raskolnikov, in this post it was called that way. – bilgamish Jun 25 '18 at 16:47
• The ratio can not be negative though. So, I assume the term "silver" for $\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ is not appropriate. – bilgamish Jun 25 '18 at 18:57

EDIT: For $x^2 + x - 1 = 0$, there is nothing really significant or noteworthy about the roots, other than one of them is $-\phi = \dfrac {-1-{\sqrt 5}}{2}$ or $-1.618$, and the other is $\dfrac {1}{\phi} = \dfrac {-1+{\sqrt 5}}{2}$ or $0.618$.
