In a triangle $ABC$, $\angle BAC = 90^{\circ}$. Let $D$ be the point on $BC$ such that $AB + BD = AC + CD$. Suppose $BD : DC = 2:1$. if $\frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{m + \sqrt{p}}{n}$, Where $m,n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ is a prime number, determine the value of $m+n+p$.

If $f(x)$ is a polynomial function such that $f(x) = x\sqrt{1 + (x + 1)\sqrt{1 + (x + 2)\sqrt{1 + (x + 3)\sqrt{1 + \cdots}}}}$ then

A) Degree of $f(x)$ must be greater than $2$

B) $f(-2) = 0$

C) $\sum_{r=1}^{5} \frac{1}{f(r)} = \frac{25}{42}$

D) $\sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{1}{f(r)} = \frac{n(3n + 5)}{4(n+1)(n+2)}$
