Let the following be equal to X Then 4058210 + X = X^2 ( Squaring Both Sides) Solve for X and the value Comes out to be 2015 .

You could have given a proper sequence or steps in your solution which could have made it better. Refer my solution.

The value of the number approaches 2015 \boxed{2015} , and that appears to be the answer, but it is by all means not exactly 2015 2015 .

Yes, there would have to be an infinite number of square roots for the value to be exactly 2015.

In that case, the last 4058211 \sqrt{4058211} is redundant...

To solve this question, we will take an assumption.

Let: x = 4058210 + 4058210 + 4058210 + . . . . . . x=\sqrt{4058210+\sqrt{4058210+\sqrt{4058210+......}}}

x = 4058210 + x x=\sqrt{4058210+x}

Squaring both sides, we get:

x 2 = 4058210 + x x^{2}=4058210+x

x 2 x 4058210 = 0 x^{2}-x-4058210=0

x 2 + 2014 x 2015 x 4058210 = 0 x^{2}+2014x-2015x-4058210=0

x ( x + 2014 ) 2015 ( x + 2014 ) = 0 x(x+2014)-2015(x+2014)=0

( x + 2014 ) ( x 2015 ) = 0 (x+2014)(x-2015)=0

x = 2014 , 2015 x=-2014,2015

Since, x x is not taken as negative.

Thus, the answer is: x = 2015 x=\boxed{2015}
