Pentagonal Circles

Geometry Level 5

A B C D E ABCDE is a regular pentagon with side length = 1 drawn on the cartesian plane with A = ( 1 2 , 0 ) A = (-\frac{1}{2},0) and B = ( 1 2 , 0 ) B=(\frac{1}{2},0) . Side D C DC has been extended to G G and F F has been chosen so that the incircles of A B F \triangle ABF and F G C \triangle FGC are congruent. If the x-coordinate of F F is a root of the polynomial with integer coefficients f ( x ) = a x 4 + b x 3 + c x 2 + d x + e f(x) = ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e , where a > 0 a>0 and gcd ( a , b , c , d , e ) = 1 \gcd (a,b,c,d,e) = 1 , find f ( 0 ) f(0) .
