y = 2 *
Why can't the value be infinity? If y '=' infinity, then 2 + y '=' infinity too.

Hi Calvin,
Here, Infinity means that the 2 + goes on for inifinity.

Hey...I got confused for a sec too...but I realized you probably meant that the series continues to infinity...!!!
is the problem not clear? Sorry..
\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}+}}}}........be x then,you can write it as,\sqrt{2+x} x=\sqrt{2+x} x^{2}=2+x that implies x=2

Let y = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 . . . ∞
Therefore, we can say that,
y = 2 + y
y 2 = 2 + y
y 2 − y − 2 = 0
( y − 2 ) ( y + 1 ) = 0
y = 2 , − 1
y can not be equal to -1 since square root can never be negative. So, (\ \boxed{y = 2} )
