Other formulas of this type, referring to the ninth and eleventh primitive roots of unity, etc., will be published in separate papers. The present paper, in a way, is a~continuation of previous papers~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s,WitulaSlota-A11} and I will take advantage of some results from those papers. The quasi-Fibonacci sequences of the seventh order discussed in the above mentioned papers are applied here for describing some attractive formulas involving radicals. The paper is divided into five parts: \begin{list}{}{} \item[--] Section 2~-- where some striking equalities related to equality~(\ref{w-1.0}) are presented. Furthermore, Binet formulas for two new sequences $\{\mathcal{S}_{n}\}$ and $\{\mathcal{S}_{n}^{*}\}$ are derived, which, at the same time, resolves the problem of an algebraic description of the zeros of polynomials $x^3-\sqrt[3]{7}x-1$ and $x^3-\sqrt[3]{49}x-1$ (see Remark~\ref{rem2-1}). \item[--] Section 3~-- where the fundamental formula~(\ref{ram-gw}) for a~sum of the cube roots of the three roots of a cubic polynomial is given. \item[--] Section 4~-- where many basic sequences of integers, reals and complex numbers, introduced and discussed earlier by the authors in papers~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s,WitulaSlota-A11}, are presented. In addition, some new relations between the elements of the sequences are discussed. Furthermore, a~new description of Binet's formula is introduced for an accelerator sequence for Catalan's constant, which, naturally, makes it possible to extend this formula for all integers (see Remark~\ref{rem4-4}). \item[--] Section 5~-- where applications of the formula~(\ref{ram-gw}) to many special kinds of polynomial of degree three are given. This section contains many Ramanujan type trigonometric formulas. Moreover in Remark~\ref{rem4.3} the nontrivial theoretical discussion of some numerical case is presented. \end{list} \section{Delicious} Now we are going to prove the following three interesting identities: \begin{multline}\label{w-nr2} \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{k} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{k} %+ {}\\ {}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{k} ={}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{k+1} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{k+1} + {}\\ {}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{k+1} %={}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{7}\, \psi_{k}, \end{multline} where $ \psi_{0}=-1$, $ \psi_{1}=0$, $ \psi_{2}=-3$ and $$ \psi_{k+3} + \psi_{k+2} -2\, \psi_{k+1} - \psi_{k} =0, \qquad k\in \mathbb{Z}; $$ % \begin{multline}\label{w-nr1} \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{k} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{k} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{k} ={}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{k+1} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{k+1} + {}\\ {}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{k+1} {}= \sqrt[3]{49}\, \varphi_{k}, \end{multline} where $ \varphi_{0}=0$, $ \varphi_{1}=-1$, $ \varphi_{2}=1$ and $$ \varphi_{k+3} + \varphi_{k+2} -2\, \varphi_{k+1} - \varphi_{k} =0, \qquad k\in \mathbb{Z}; $$ \begin{multline}\label{w-nr3} \sqrt[3]{\sec 2\alpha}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{k} + \sqrt[3]{\sec 4\alpha}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{k} + \sqrt[3]{\sec \alpha}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{k} ={}\\ {}= \delta_k\, \sqrt[3]{8-6\, \sqrt[3]{7}} + \sigma_k\, \sqrt[3]{6\, \big( 1+\sqrt[3]{7}\big)^2} + \xi_k\, \sqrt[3]{2\, \big( 5-3\,\sqrt[3]{7}\big)^2} ={}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{ f_{3k+1} + 6 - \frac{3}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \, \Big( \sqrt[3]{ \mathcal{S}_{3k+1,8} + \sqrt{\mathcal{T}_{3k+1,8}} } + \sqrt[3]{ \mathcal{S}_{3k+1,8} - \sqrt{\mathcal{T}_{3k+1,8}} }\,\, \Big)}, \end{multline} where \begin{align*} \delta_0 &= 1, & \delta_1 &= 0, & \delta_2 &= 0,\\ \sigma_0 &= 0, & \sigma_1 &= -1, & \sigma_2 &= 0,\\ \xi_0 &= 0, & \xi_1 &= 0, & \xi_2 &= 1, \end{align*} $$ \mathbb{X}_{k+3} + \mathbb{X}_{k+2} -2\, \mathbb{X}_{k+1} - \mathbb{X}_{k} =0, \qquad k=0,1,2,\ldots, $$ for every $\mathbb{X}\in \{\delta,\sigma,\xi\}$, whereas the sequences $f_{3k+1}$, $\mathcal{S}_{3k+1,8}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{3k+1,8}$ are defined by formulas~(\ref{f2s-w3g}), (\ref{w6-e}) and~(\ref{w6-f}) (in Section~\ref{roz3}, other sequences occurring in the definition of sequences $\mathcal{S}_{3k+1,8}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{3k+1,8}$ are defined as well). The first twelve values of numbers $\psi_n$ and $\varphi_n$ are presented in Table~\ref{tabela}. Moreover an interesting numerical link to the formula~(\ref{w-nr2}) are the considerations from Remark~\ref{rem4.3}. \medskip\noindent \textit{Proof of formulas~(\ref{w-nr2})--(\ref{w-nr3}).} For $k=0,1,2$, the formulas (\ref{w-nr2})--(\ref{w-nr3}) follow from~(\ref{sf-w2}), (\ref{sf-w5}), (\ref{sf-w7a}), (\ref{sf-w8}) and (\ref{sf-w11}), and (or) from the following equalities (in both cases, equality~(\ref{w-0}) below for $\mathbb{X}=0$ is needed): \begin{multline*} \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos\alpha \big)^2 + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^2 + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^2 = {}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2+2\, \cos 2\alpha \big) {}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2+2\, \cos 4\alpha \big) + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos\alpha}}\, \big( 2+2\, \cos\alpha \big) ={}\\ %\end{multline*} %\begin{multline*} {}= 2\, \sqrt[3]{7} \, \psi_0 + 2\, \Big( \sqrt[3]{\cos \alpha\, \cos^2 2\alpha} + \sqrt[3]{\cos 2\alpha\, \cos^2 4\alpha} + \sqrt[3]{\cos 4\alpha\, \cos^2 \alpha}\, \Big) = {}\\ {}= -2\, \sqrt[3]{7} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}} = -2\, \sqrt[3]{7} + \sqrt[3]{7} \, \psi_0 = -3\, \sqrt[3]{7}, \end{multline*} and \begin{multline*}%equation*} \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^2 + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^2 + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^2 ={}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \big( 2 + 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big) + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \big( 2 + 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big) + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \big( 2 + 2\, \cos \alpha \big) ={}%\\ \end{multline*}%equation*} %\pagebreak \begin{multline*} {}=2\, \sqrt[3]{49}\, \varphi_0 + \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\right)^2+ \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\right)^2+ \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\right)^2 ={}\\ =\!\! \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\right)^{\!\!2} -2\! \left( \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}} \right) \!\!=\\ {}= \Big( \sqrt[3]{7}\, \psi_0 \Big)^2 -2\,\sqrt[3]{49}\, \varphi_0=\sqrt[3]{49}. \end{multline*} Now let us set $$ \mathfrak{B}_n := \sum_{k=0}^{2} x_k\, \big( \cos \big(2^{k}\alpha\big) \big)^n, $$ where $x_k\in \mathbb{R}$, $k=1,2,3$, are given. Then, from Newton's formula we obtain $$ \mathfrak{B}_{n+3}+\mathfrak{B}_{n+2}-2\,\mathfrak{B}_{n+1} -\mathfrak{B}_{n} =0 $$ since~ \cite{Kreczmar,WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s}: \begin{equation}\label{w-0} \prod_{k=0}^{2} \Big( \mathbb{X} - 2\, \cos \big(2^{k}\alpha \big) \Big) = \mathbb{X}^3 + \mathbb{X}^2 -2\, \mathbb{X} -1. \end{equation} Hence, on account of the definitions of sequences $\varphi_k$ and $\psi_k$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$, by applied induction arguments the formulas~(\ref{w-nr2}) and~(\ref{w-nr1}) follow. Similarly, by applying ~(\ref{sf-w1}), (\ref{sf-w4}) and~(\ref{sf-w7}) we deduce the first part of~(\ref{w-nr3}). The second part of~(\ref{w-nr3}) from~(\ref{w6-d}) follows. \begin{remark}\label{rem2-1} Let $a,b,c\in \mathbb{C}$ and $a+b+c=0$. Put $$ s_k := a^k + b^k + c^k, \qquad k\in \mathbb{N}. $$ Then the following relations hold \cite{Kreczmar,Modenov}: \begin{align*} 2\, s_4 &= s_{2}^{2}; & 6\, s_5 &=5\, s_2\, s_3; \\ 6\, s_7 &= 7\, s_3\, s_4; & 10\, s_7 &= 7\, s_2\, s_5;\\ 25\, s_3\, s_7 &= 21 s_{5}^{2}; & 50\, s_{7}^{2} &= 49\, s_4\, s_{5}^{2} \end{align*} and the respective Newton formula has the form $$ s_{n+3} = a\, b\, c\, s_n + \frac{1}{2}\, s_2\, s_{n+1}, \qquad n\in \mathbb{N}. $$ Hence, and from~(\ref{w-nr1}) for $k=0$, we get $$ \mathcal{S}_{n+3} = \sqrt[3]{7}\, \mathcal{S}_{n+1} + \mathcal{S}_n , $$ where $\mathcal{S}_0=3$, $\mathcal{S}_1=0$, $\mathcal{S}_2=2\,\sqrt[3]{7}$, $$ \mathcal{S}_n := \left(\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}\right)^{\!n/3}+ \left(\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha}\right)^{\!n/3}+ \left(\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}\right)^{\!n/3} $$ which implies the following formula $$ \mathcal{S}_n = \widehat{a}_n+ \widehat{b}_n\, \sqrt[3]{7} + \widehat{c}_n\, \sqrt[3]{49}, $$ where \begin{align*} \widehat{a}_{n+3} &= \widehat{a}_n +7\, \widehat{c}_n,\\ \widehat{b}_{n+3} &= \widehat{b}_n + \widehat{a}_{n+1},\\ \widehat{c}_{n+3} &= \widehat{c}_n + \widehat{b}_{n+1},\\ \widehat{a}_0 &=3, \quad \widehat{a}_1=0,\quad \widehat{a}_2=0,\\ \widehat{b}_0 &=0, \quad \widehat{b}_1=0,\quad \widehat{b}_2=1,\\ \widehat{c}_0 &=0, \quad \widehat{c}_1=0,\quad \widehat{c}_2=0. \end{align*} On the other hand, from~(\ref{w-nr2}) for $k=1$, we obtain $$ \mathcal{S}_{n+3}^{*} = \frac{1}{2}\, \mathcal{S}_{2}^{*}\, \mathcal{S}_{n+1}^{*} + \mathcal{S}_{n}^{*} , \qquad n\in \mathbb{N}_0, $$ where $\mathcal{S}_{0}^{*}=3$, $\mathcal{S}_{1}^{*}=0$, \begin{equation*} %\begin{multline*} \mathcal{S}_{n}^{*} := \bigg(2\,\cos \alpha\, \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}\, \bigg)^{\!\!n}+ \bigg(2\,\cos 2\alpha\, \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}\, \bigg)^{\!\!n} %+{}\\ %{} + \bigg(2\,\cos 4\alpha\, \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}\, \bigg)^{\!\!n}, \quad n\in \mathbb{N}, %\end{multline*} \end{equation*} and by~(\ref{w-0}) for $\mathbb{X}=0$: \begin{multline*} \mathcal{S}_{2}^{*} := \left( \frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha} \right)^{\!\!2/3} \big( 2+2\,\cos 2\alpha\big) + \left( \frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha} \right)^{\!\!2/3}\!\! \big( 2+2\,\cos 4\alpha\big) %+{}\\ {}+ \left( \frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha} \right)^{\!\!2/3}\!\! \big( 2+2\,\cos \alpha \big) ={}\\ {}= 2\, \left( \left(\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3} + \left(\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3} + \left(\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3}\, \right)^{\!\!2} -{}\\ {} -4\, \left( \left(\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 4\alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3} + \left(\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos 2\alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3} + \left(\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos \alpha} \right)^{\!\!1/3}\, \right) +{}\\ {}+ \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{1/3}\, \big( 4\, \cos \alpha\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{1/3} + \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \Big)^{1/3}\, \big( 4\, \cos 2\alpha\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{1/3} +{}\\ {}+ \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{1/3}\, \big( 4\, \cos \alpha\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{1/3} = 2\, (\sqrt[3]{7}\,\psi_0)^2 - 4\, \mathcal{S}_1 + \mathcal{S}_1 = 2\, \sqrt[3]{49}. \end{multline*} So, we have $$ \mathcal{S}_{n+3}^{*} = \sqrt[3]{49}\, \mathcal{S}_{n+1}^{*} + \mathcal{S}_{n}^{*}, \qquad n\in \mathbb{N}_0, $$ which implies $$ \mathcal{S}_{n}^{*} = a_{n}^{*}+ b_{n}^{*}\, \sqrt[3]{7} + c_{n}^{*}\, \sqrt[3]{49}, $$ where \begin{align*} {a}^{*}_{n+3} &= {a}^{*}_n + 7\, {b}^{*}_{n+1},\\ {b}^{*}_{n+3} &= {b}^{*}_n + 7\, {c}^{*}_{n+1},\\ {c}^{*}_{n+3} &= {c}^{*}_n + {a}^{*}_{n+1},%\\ \end{align*} \begin{align*} {a}^{*}_0 &=3, \quad {a}^{*}_1=0,\quad {a}^{*}_2=0,\\ {b}^{*}_0 &=0, \quad {b}^{*}_1=0,\quad {b}^{*}_2=0,\\ {c}^{*}_0 &=0, \quad {c}^{*}_1=0,\quad {c}^{*}_2=2. \end{align*} We note that the elements $\mathcal{S}_{3n}=\widehat{a}_{n}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{3n}^{*}={a}^{*}_{n}$, $n=0,1,\ldots$, are all integers. \end{remark} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Section %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Some theoretical deliberations}\label{roz3a} Let us assume that $\xi_{1}$, $\xi_{2}$, $\xi_{3}$ are complex roots of the following polynomial with complex coefficients $$ f(z) := z^{3} + p\,z^{2} + q\,z + r. $$ The symbols $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}$, $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}$, $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}}$ will denote any of the third complex roots of the numbers $\xi_{1}$, $\xi_{2}$ and $\xi_{3}$, respectively (only in the case where $\xi_{1}$, $\xi_{2}$ and $\xi_{3}$ are real numbers, we will assume that $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}$, $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}$ and $\sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}}$ also denote the respective real roots). Let us assume that $$ A := \left( \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \right)^{3} $$ and $$ B := \left( \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \right)^{3}. $$ Thus, the numbers $$ \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \qquad \mbox{ and } \qquad \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} $$ belong to the sets of the third complex roots of $A$ and~$B$, respectively, which, for conciseness of notation, will be denoted by the symbols $\sqrt[3]{A}$ and~$\sqrt[3]{B}$, respectively. In other words, we have $$ \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \in \sqrt[3]{A} $$ and $$ \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} + \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \in \sqrt[3]{B} . $$ Hence, after two-sided raising of the numbers to the third power, we obtain the following formulas: $$ A = \xi_{1} + \xi_{2} + \xi_{3} + 3\, \sum _{k \neq l} \left( \sqrt[3]{\xi_{k}} \right)^{2}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{l}} + 6\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} , $$ and $$ B = \xi_{1}\, \xi_{2} + \xi_{1}\, \xi_{3} + \xi_{2}\, \xi_{3} + 3\! \sum _{k \neq l} \left( \sqrt[3]{\xi_{k}} \right)^{2}\! \sqrt[3]{\xi_{l}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3} }+ 6\! \left( \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \right)^{2}, $$ where $$ \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}} \in \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}\, \xi_{2} \,\xi_{3}} = \sqrt[3]{-r} = - \sqrt[3]{r}. $$ Also here, for abbreviation, the product $({-}1)\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{1}}\,\sqrt[3]{\xi_{2}}\, \sqrt[3]{\xi_{3}}$ will be denoted by the symbol $\sqrt[3]{r}$. Taking into account Vi\`ete's formulas for polynomial $f(z)$, the expressions for $A$ and~$B$ can be attributed the following form (from now on, symbols $\sqrt[3]{A}$ and~$\sqrt[3]{B}$ will mean the properly selected elements from sets $\sqrt[3]{A}$ and~$\sqrt[3]{B}$, respectively): \begin{equation}\label{ram-w1} A = -p + 3\, \sqrt[3]{A}\, \sqrt[3]{B} + 3\sqrt[3]{r} \end{equation} and \begin{equation}\label{ram-w2} B = q - 3\, \sqrt[3]{A}\, \sqrt[3]{B}\, \sqrt[3]{r} - 3\, \left( \sqrt[3]{r} \right) ^{2} . \end{equation} By multiplying the first of these equations by $\sqrt[3]{r}$ and adding the equations side-by-side, we obtain \begin{equation}\label{ram-w3} B = q - (A + p)\, \sqrt[3]{r} . \end{equation} At the same time, the equation~(\ref{ram-w1}) yields $$ 3\, \sqrt[3]{A}\, \sqrt[3]{B} = A + p - 3\, \sqrt[3]{r} , $$ i.e., $$ 27\, A\, B = \left( A + p - 3\, \sqrt[3]{r} \right) ^{3} , $$ hence, with respect to~(\ref{ram-w3}) we obtain \begin{multline*} 27\, A\, \big( q - (A + p)\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big) = A^{3} + p^{3} - 27\, r + {}\\ {}+ 3\, \big( A^{2}\, (p - 3\sqrt[3]{r}) + A\, (p^{2} + 9\, (\sqrt[3]{r})^{2} ) - 3\, p^{2}\, \sqrt[3]{r} + 9\, p\, (\sqrt[3]{r})^{2} \big) - 18\, A\, p\, \sqrt[3]{r}, \end{multline*} and having rearrange the summands (with respect to the powers of~$A$), we obtain the basic equality \begin{equation}\label{ram-w4} A^{3} + 3\, \big( p + 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big) A^{2} + 3\, \big( p^{2} + 3\, p\, \sqrt[3]{r} + 9\, (\sqrt[3]{r})^{2} - 9\, q \big) A + \big( p - 3\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{3} = 0. \end{equation} By applying Cardano's formula to this polynomial, we get the following basic formula (the right side of the formula below means a~properly selected third root of the number present in the formula): \begin{multline}\label{ram-gw} \sqrt[3]{A}=\sqrt[3]{\xi_1} +\sqrt[3]{\xi_2}+\sqrt[3]{\xi_3} = {}\\ {}= \sqrt[3]{ -p-6\, \sqrt[3]{r} - \frac{3}{\sqrt[3]{2}}\, \Big( \sqrt[3]{\mathcal{S}+\sqrt{\mathcal{T}}} + \sqrt[3]{\mathcal{S}-\sqrt{\mathcal{T}}}\, \Big) }, \end{multline} where \begin{align*} \mathcal{S} &:= p\, q +6\, q\, \sqrt[3]{r} +6\, p\, \sqrt[3]{r^2} +9\, r,\\ \mathcal{T} &:= p^2\, q^2 -4\, q^3 - 4\, p^3\, r + 18\, p\,q\, r -27\, r^2. \end{align*} In the case when $\mathcal{T}\geq 0$, $\mathcal{S}\in \mathbb{R}$, $r\in \mathbb{R}$, we assume that all the roots appearing here are real. \begin{remark}\label{ram-rem1} We note that, if in the formula~(\ref{ram-w4}) the following condition holds $$ \big( p + 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{2} = p^{2} + 3\, p\, \sqrt[3]{r} + 9\, (\sqrt[3]{r})^{2} - 9\, q , $$ i.e., \begin{equation}\label{ram-w5} p\, \sqrt[3]{r} + 3\, (\sqrt[3]{r})^{2} + q = 0, \end{equation} then the equation~(\ref{ram-w4}) could be given in the form $$ \big( A + p + 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{3} = \big( p + 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{3} - \big( p - 3\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big) ^{3} , $$ hence we get \begin{equation}\label{ram-w6} A = - p - 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} + \sqrt[3]{ \big( p + 6\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{3} - \big( p - 3\, \sqrt[3]{r} \big)^{3} }. \end{equation} \end{remark} \begin{remark} The analysis which enabled describing the value of~$A$ by means of coefficients of polynomial~$f(z)$ comes from the papers~\cite{Shevelev1988,Kreczmar} (see also~\cite{GrzymkowskiWitula}). \end{remark} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Section %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Basic sequences}\label{roz3} We will now provide definitions of a~dozen basic sequences (not only integer sequences) used further in the paper. For more information concerning these sequences (including the trigonometric relationships defining their terms), see the papers~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s}. The sequences $\{A_{n}(\delta)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{B_{n}(\delta)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{C_{n}(\delta)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ are the so-called quasi-Fibonacci numbers of the seventh order described in~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7} by means of relations \begin{equation} (1+\delta\, (\xi^{k}+\xi^{6k}))^n = A_n(\delta)+B_n(\delta)\, (\xi^{k}+\xi^{6k})+C_n(\delta)\, (\xi^{2k}+\xi^{5k}) \end{equation} for $k=1,2,3$, where $\xi\in\mathbb{C}$ is a~primitive root of unity of the seventh order ($\xi^7=1$ and $\xi\neq 1$), $\delta\in \mathbb{C}$, $\delta\neq 0$. These sequences satisfy the following recurrence relations \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{l} A_0(\delta )=1,\ \ B_0(\delta )=C_0(\delta )=0, \\ A_{n+1}(\delta )=A_n(\delta )+2\,\delta\, B_n(\delta )-\delta\, C_n(\delta ), \\ B_{n+1}(\delta )=\delta\, A_n(\delta )+B_n(\delta ), \\ C_{n+1}(\delta )=\delta\, B_n(\delta )+(1-\delta )\,C_n(\delta ), \end{array}\right. \label{aa} \end{equation} for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Two auxiliary sequences $\{\mathcal{A}_{n}(\delta)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{\mathcal{B}_{n}(\delta)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ connected with these ones are defined by the following relations: \begin{equation}\label{w-and} \mathcal{A}_{n}(\delta) := 3\, A_{n}(\delta) - B_{n}(\delta) -C_{n}(\delta) \end{equation} and \begin{equation} \mathcal{B}_{n}(\delta) := \frac{1}{2} \big( \big(\mathcal{A}_{n}(\delta)\big)^{2} - \mathcal{A}_{2n}(\delta) \big).\label{w-bnd} \end{equation} Furthermore, to simplify notation, we will write \begin{equation}\label{nr100} \mathcal{A}_{n}=\mathcal{A}_{n}(1),\ \mathcal{B}_{n}=\mathcal{B}_{n}(1),\ A_{n}=A_{n}(1),\ B_{n}=B_{n}(1)\ \mbox{and}\ C_{n}=C_{n}(1), \end{equation} for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$. We note that the elements of the sequences $\{\mathcal{A}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{{A}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{{B}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{{C}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ respectively, satisfy the following recurrence relation (see~\cite[eq.~(3.20)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}): $$ \mathbb{X}_{n+3} -2\, \mathbb{X}_{n+2} -\mathbb{X}_{n+1} + \mathbb{X}_n \equiv 0. $$ Simultaneously, the elements of sequence $\{\mathcal{B}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ by~\cite[eqs.~(3.18), (3.13)]{WitulaSlota-A7s} satisfy the following relation \begin{equation}\label{w-Nr-0} \mathcal{B}_{n+3} + \mathcal{B}_{n+2} -2\, \mathcal{B}_{n+1} - \mathcal{B}_n \equiv 0. \end{equation} \begin{remark} The sequence $\{\mathcal{B}_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is an accelerator sequence for Catalan's constant (see~\cite[sequence \seqnum{A094648}]{Sloane} and papers~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s}). \end{remark} The elements of the sequences $\{a_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{b_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{c_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ are defined by the following recurrence relations: $$ a_{0}=b_{0}=c_{0}=\sqrt{7} $$ and \begin{equation}\label{f2s-w1g} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} a_{n+1} = 2\, a_{n} + b_{n},\\ b_{n+1} = a_{n} + 2\, b_{n} - c_{n},\\ c_{n+1} = c_{n} - b_{n},\\ \end{array} \right. \end{equation} for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$. Moreover, we will use the following sequences \begin{equation}\label{f2s-w2ga} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \overline{\alpha}_{n} := c_{n+1},\\ \overline{\beta}_{n} := {-}a_{n} - b_{n} ,\\ \overline{\gamma}_{n} := a_{n},\\ \end{array} \right. \end{equation} Next, sequences $\{f_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{g_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{h_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{H_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ are defined in the following way $$ f_0=g_0=h_0=-1, $$ and \begin{equation}\label{f2s-w3g} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} f_{n+1} = f_{n} + g_{n},& \quad n \geq 0,\\ g_{n+1} = f_{n} + h_{n},& \quad n \geq 0,\\ h_{n} = \mathcal{B}_{n+1},& \quad n \geq 1,\\ 2\, H_n = f_{n}^{2} +f_{2n} - g_{n}^{2} + h_{n}^{2} - h_{2n+1} -2\, h_{2n}, & \quad n \geq 0,\\ \end{array} \right. \end{equation} (the numbers $ \mathcal{B}_{n}$ are defined by the formula~(\ref{nr100}) above). And at last, the elements of sequences $\{u_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{v_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{w_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{x_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, $\{y_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ and $\{z_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ are defined by \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_{n+1} = x_{n},\\ v_{n+1} = -y_{n}-z_{n} = x_{n} - \sqrt{7} \, z_{n-1},\\ w_{n+1} = y_{n}-x_{n},\\ x_{n+1} = u_{n} - w_{n},\\ y_{n+1} = w_{n} - v_{n},\\ z_{n+1} = 2\, z_{n-1} - v_{n}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$, where $u_0=v_0=w_0=-1$, $x_0=y_0=z_0=\sqrt{7}$ and $z_1=7$. \begin{remark} All the recurrence sequences above have a~third order; the selective identities, Binet formulas and generating functions, and some different identities for these numbers, are presented in papers \cite{WitulaSlota-A7,WitulaSlota-A7s}. For example, the following equivalent recurrence relations hold $$ \mbox{(\ref{f2s-w1g})}\ \ \Longleftrightarrow\ \ \mathbb{X}_{n+3} - 5\, \mathbb{X}_{n+2} + 6\, \mathbb{X}_{n+1} - \mathbb{X}_{n} = 0, $$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$, and $\mathbb{X}\in \{a,b,c\}$, and $a_{0}=b_{0}=c_{0}=\sqrt{7}$, $a_{1}=3\,\sqrt{7}$, $b_{1}=2\,\sqrt{7}$, $c_{1}=0$, $a_{2}=8\,\sqrt{7}$, $b_{2}=\sqrt{7^3}$, $c_{1}=-2\, \sqrt{7}$. We also have \begin{align*} a_{n} &= 2^{2n+1}\, \Big[ \sin \alpha\, \big(\! \cos 4\alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin 2\alpha\, \big(\! \cos \alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin 4\alpha\, \big(\! \cos 2\alpha \big)^{\!2n} \Big],\\ b_{n} &= 2^{2n+1}\, \Big[ \sin 2\alpha\, \big(\! \cos 4\alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin 4\alpha\, \big(\! \cos \alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin \alpha\, \big(\! \cos 2\alpha \big)^{\!2n} \Big],\\ c_{n} &= 2^{2n+1}\, \Big[ \sin 4\alpha\, \big(\! \cos 4\alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin \alpha\, \big(\! \cos \alpha \big)^{\!2n} + \sin 2\alpha\, \big(\! \cos 2\alpha \big)^{\!2n} \Big], \end{align*} etc. \end{remark} \begin{remark} Now we present some new identities for the above sequences (identities~(\ref{nr-alpha})--(\ref{nr-delta}), (\ref{w3.16})--(\ref{w3.19})), which will be used in subsection~\ref{poroz4.2}. These identities significantly complete those obtained in paper~\cite{WitulaSlota-A7s}. By~\cite[Lemma~3.14 (a)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, equality~(\ref{w-0}) and \cite[eq.~(3.21)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, the following identity holds \begin{equation}\label{nr-alpha} (-1)^{n}\, \mathcal{A}_{n} = H_{n+1}. \end{equation} Hence, by~\cite[eq.~(3.23)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, we obtain \begin{multline}\label{nr-beta} 2\, \cos \alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{-n} + 2\, \cos 2\alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{-n} + 2\, \cos 4\alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{-n} ={}\\ {}= (-1)^{n}\, \big( \mathcal{A}_{n} + \mathcal{A}_{n-1} - \mathcal{A}_{n-2} \big) {}= (-1)^{n}\, \big( \mathcal{A}_{n+1} - \mathcal{A}_{n} \big), \end{multline} and next, by~\cite[eq.~(3.22)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, we obtain \begin{multline}\label{nr-gamma} 2\, \cos \alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos 4\alpha \big)^{-n} + 2\, \cos 2\alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos \alpha \big)^{-n} + 2\, \cos 4\alpha\, \big( 2\, \cos 2\alpha \big)^{-n} ={}\\ {}= (-1)^{n}\, \big( \mathcal{A}_{n+1} - \mathcal{A}_{n-1} + \mathcal{A}_{n-2} - 7\, A_{n} \big) {}= (-1)^{n}\, \big( \mathcal{A}_{n-1} - \mathcal{A}_{n+1} \big), \end{multline} since, by~\cite[Remark~3.11]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, we have the identity $$ \mathcal{A}_{n+3} = 2\, \mathcal{A}_{n+2} + \mathcal{A}_{n+1} - \mathcal{A}_{n} $$ and by~\cite[Remark~3.8]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, we have $$ 4\, \mathcal{A}_{n} - \mathcal{A}_{n-2} = 7\, {A}_{n}. $$ Moreover, the following formula can be easily generated \begin{equation}\label{nr-delta} \mathcal{B}_{n} = g_{n+1} + h_{n+1}. \end{equation} By~\cite[eq.~(3.18)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}, we have \begin{equation}\label{w3.15} h_{n-1}=\mathcal{B}_{n}, \end{equation} which by~(\ref{nr-delta}) implies \begin{equation}\label{w3.16} g_{n+1}=\mathcal{B}_{n}-\mathcal{B}_{n+2}, \end{equation} and next, by~\cite[eq.~(3.12)]{WitulaSlota-A7s} and by~(\ref{w-Nr-0}), we get \begin{equation}\label{w3.17} f_{n}=g_{n+1}-h_{n}=\mathcal{B}_{n}-\mathcal{B}_{n+2}-\mathcal{B}_{n+1}= -\mathcal{B}_{n-1}-\mathcal{B}_{n}. \end{equation} Moreover, we obtain \begin{equation}\label{w3.18} f_{n}+g_{n}=-\mathcal{B}_{n}-\mathcal{B}_{n+1} \end{equation} and \begin{equation}\label{w3.19} f_{n}+h_{n}=\mathcal{B}_{n}-\mathcal{B}_{n+2}. \end{equation} \end{remark} \begin{remark}\label{rem4-4} From~(\ref{w3.15}) we get (see~\cite[eq.~(3.11)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}): $$ \mathcal{B}_{n} = 2^n\, \big( \cos^n\alpha + \cos^n 2\alpha + \cos^n 4\alpha \big), $$ from which the next form can be deduced \begin{equation}\label{nnnnn} \mathcal{B}_{n} = \Big( \frac{\sin 2\alpha}{\sin \alpha} \Big)^{\! n} + \Big( \frac{\sin 4\alpha}{\sin 2\alpha} \Big)^{\! n} + \Big( \frac{\sin \alpha}{\sin 4\alpha} \Big)^{\! n}. \end{equation} This forms of Binet's formula for $\mathcal{B}_{n}$ are more attractive than the Sloane's ones (see~\cite[sequence \seqnum{A094648}]{Sloane}). Moreover, the formula~(\ref{nnnnn}) makes it possible to extend the definition $\mathcal{B}_{n}$ for negative integers~$n$. So $\{\mathcal{B}_{n}\}_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}$ is a~two-sided sequence of integers which is defined for all integers either by recurrence formula~(\ref{w-Nr-0}), or equivalently by Binet's formula~(\ref{nnnnn}). \end{remark} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Section %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Applications of the formula~(\ref{ram-gw})} \subsection{Some special formulas} \subsubsection*{By~\cite[eq.~(3.30)]{WitulaSlota-A7s}} \noindent for $n=1$: \begin{equation}\label{sf-w1} \sqrt[3]{\sec \alpha} + \sqrt[3]{\sec 2\alpha} + \sqrt[3]{\sec 4\alpha} = \sqrt[3]{8-6\,\sqrt[3]{7}}\, ; \end{equation} %\medskip \noindent for $n=2$: \begin{equation}\label{sf-w2} \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos 2\alpha}}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\cos 4\alpha}}+ \sqrt[3]{\frac{\cos 4\alpha}{\cos \alpha}}= -\sqrt[3]{7}\, ; \end{equation} %\medskip \noindent for $n=3$: \begin{equation}\label{sf-w3} \cos 2\alpha\, \sqrt[3]{2\, \cos \alpha} + \cos 4\alpha\, \sqrt[3]{2\, \cos 2\alpha} + \cos \alpha\, \sqrt[3]{2\, \cos 4\alpha} %={}\\ {}= \frac{1}{2}\, \sqrt[3]{5 + 3\, \sqrt[3]{7} -

As a~spontaneous reaction to~\cite{Shevelev2007} and the report on the present paper, two more papers sprang up~\cite{Witula-RCP} and~\cite{Witula-Sup}. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Acknowledgments} The author wish to express their gratitude to the Reviewer for several helpful comments concerning the first version of my paper. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{table}[htb!] \begin{center} {\small% \caption{}\label{tabela} \medskip \begin{tabular}{||c||r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|r||}\hline\hline $n$ & $0$ & $1$ & $2$ & $3$ & $4$ & $5$ & $6$ & $7$ & $8$ & $9$ & $10$ & $11$ \\ \hline\hline $\psi_{n}$ & $-1$ & $0$ & $-3$ & $2$ & $-8$ & $9$ & $-23$ & $33$ & $-70$ & $113$ & $-220$ & $376$\\ \hline $\varphi_{n}$ & $0$ & $-1$ & $1$ & $-3$ & $4$ & $-9$ & $14$ & $-28$ & $47$ & $-89$ & $155$ & $-286$\\\hline\hline \end{tabular} } \end{center} \end{table} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Section %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{thebibliography}{10} \bibitem{Berndt} B.~C.~Berndt, \textit{Ramanujan's Notebooks, Part~IV}, Springer, 1994. %New York \bibitem{Berndt2} B.~C.~Berndt, H.~H.~Chan and L.-Ch.~Zhang, Radicals and units in Ramanujan's work, \textit{Acta Arith.} \textbf{87} (1998), 145--158. \bibitem{Berndt3} B.~C.~Berndt, Y.-S.~Choi and S.-Y.~Kang, The problems submitted by Ramanujan to the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society, in B.~C.~Berndt and F.~Gesztesy, eds., \textit{Continued Fractions: From Analytic Number Theory to Constructive Approximation}, AMS, 1999, pp.~15--56. %Providence \bibitem{GrzymkowskiWitula} R.~Grzymkowski and R.~Witu{\l}a, \textit{Calculus Methods in Algebra, Part One}, WPKJS, 2000 (in Polish). \bibitem{Kreczmar} W.~A.~Kreczmar, \textit{A~Collection of Problems in Algebra}, Nauka, 1961. %Moscow \bibitem{Modenov} P.~S.~Modenov, \textit{Collection of Problems for a Special Course of Elementary Mathematics}, Sovetskaja Nauka, 1957. %Moscow \bibitem{Shevelev1988} V.~S.~Shevelev, {Three Ramanujan's formulas}, \textit{Kvant} \textbf{6} (1988), 52--55 (in Russian). \bibitem{Shevelev2007} V.~Shevelev, {On Ramanujan cubic polynomials}, \htmladdnormallink{\textit{arXiv:0711.3420v1}}{http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.3420}, 2007. \bibitem{Shevelev2009} V.~Shevelev, {Gold ratio and a~trigonometric identity}, \htmladdnormallink{\textit{arXiv:0909.5072v1}}{http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.5072}, 2009. \bibitem{Sloane} N.~J.~A.~Sloane, \htmladdnormallink{\textit{The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences}} {http://www.research.att.com/$\sim$njas/sequences/}, 2009. %{The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences},\\ %{http://www.research.att.com/$\sim$njas/sequences/} (2009). \bibitem{WitulaSlota-A7} R.~Witu{\l}a, D.~S{\l}ota and A.~Warzy{\'n}ski, {Quasi-Fibonacci numbers of the seventh order}, \textit{J.~Integer Seq.} \textbf{9} (2006), \htmladdnormallink{Article 06.4.3}{http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/VOL9/Slota/slota57.html}. \bibitem{WitulaSlota-A7s} R.~Witu{\l}a and D.~S{\l}ota, {New Ramanujan-type formulas and quasi-Fibonacci numbers of order~7}, \textit{J.~Integer Seq.} \textbf{10} (2007), \htmladdnormallink{Article 07.5.6}{http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/VOL10/Slota/witula13.html}. \bibitem{WitulaSlota-A11} R.~Witu{\l}a and D.~S{\l}ota, {Quasi-Fibonacci numbers of order~11}, \textit{J.~Integer Seq.} \textbf{10} (2007), \htmladdnormallink{Article 07.8.5}{http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/VOL10/Slota2/slota99.html}. \bibitem{Witula-RCP} R.~Witu{\l}a, {Full description of Ramanujan cubic polynomials}, submitted. \bibitem{Witula-Sup} R.~Witu{\l}a, {Ramanujan type trigonometric formulas for arguments $\frac{2\, \pi}{7}$ and $\frac{2\, \pi}{9}$~-- supplement}, submitted. \bibitem{Yaglom} A.~M.~Yaglom and I.~M.~Yaglom, {An elementary derivation of the formulas of Wallis, Leibnitz and Euler for the number~$\pi$}, \textit{Uspehi Matem.
