Where is it metioned that x>0

Hello Mayank. Just note that everything is inside a square root sign. And every number inside is positive. So in the real realm only the positive answer must be considered. Cheers.

Even iI agree
Thanks for your answer !
Oh yeah right!
but the answer after computing the square root may be negative.
Because (something)^1/2 is always positive

not really... (any real no.)^2 is always positive. the square need not be.
not exactly always. for example(4)^1/2=-2 or+2
10+ Great! :)
Convergence might be an issue. Not in this case, but the first step to take would be to demonstrate that the sequence converges
How can you substitute root of 2's latr as x.... Whereas the actual x is root 2plus the other roots....lyk actually its n times... But thn it is n-1 no. Of tym's...

Because it is going upto infinity , infinity-1=infinity
Let
x = 2 + 2 + 2 + . . . . . . . .
Now the given expression is equal to x .
Now,
x = 2 + x { Since the interior part is also equal to x . }
Squaring on both sides,
x 2 = 2 + x .
x 2 − x − 2 = 0 .
x 2 − 2 x + x − 2 = 0 .
x ( x − 2 ) + 1 ( x − 2 ) = 0 .
( x − 2 ) ( x + 1 ) .
Hence the two roots are x = 2 , − 1
Since sum of anything can never be negative , the only answer is 2 .
Good solution
Hey, how to solve same type of question with √132-√132...

I didn't understand what you mean. Tell it more clearly. I'll surely help you.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 . . . = x 2 + x 2 + 2 + 2 . . . = x 2 + x = x 2 + x = x 2 x 2 − x − 2 = 0 ( x − 2 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0 x = 2 ; x = − 1 The answer= 2
√2+(√2+(√2+(√2...)))=x 2+(√2+(√2+(√2+...)))=x² 2+x=x² x²-x-2=0 (x+1)(x-2) x=(-1), x=2 Positive.. =2 smile emoticon

@Hadia Qadir – Did you learn to write it in ( L a T e X ) ?
√2+√2+√2+...........=x √2+x=x 2+x=x x 0=x x-x-2 then x=2
Absolutly right divya. Appriciate with you.

Make x = 2 + 2 + 2 + . . . Square both sides. Then x 2 = 2 + 2 + 2 + . . . = 2 + x This results in a quadratic equation x 2 − x − 2 = 0 There are two solutions only, x = − 1 and x = 2 But, as x > 0 the solution is x = 2
