  1. Try to prove the following two results that relate the harmonic numbers to the golden ratio. Have an excellent weekend.

    \[\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\binom{2n}n\dfrac{H_n}{5^n}=2\sqrt5\ln\varphi\]

    \[\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\binom{2n}n\dfrac{H_n}{5^nn}=\frac{2\pi^2}{15}-2\ln^2\varphi\]

    where \(\varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt5}2\) is the golden ratio; and \(H_n=\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\ldots+\frac1n\right)\) is the \(n\)-th harmonic number.
