To solve the common problem involving the infinite nested square root of the form ( \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \dots}}} ), follow these steps:
Step 1: Define the limit
Let ( L = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \dots}}} ).
Since the nested structure repeats infinitely, the expression inside the outermost square root is ( 2 + L ). Thus:
[ L = \sqrt{2 + L} ]
Step 2: Solve for ( L )
Square both sides to eliminate the square root:
[ L^2 = 2 + L ]
Rearrange into a quadratic equation:
[ L^2 - L - 2 = 0 ]
Factor the quadratic:
[ (L - 2)(L + 1) = 0 ]
Step 3: Select the valid solution
Since ( L ) is a positive number (square root of a positive value), we discard ( L = -1 ).
Thus, ( L = 2 ).
Answer: (\boxed{2})
