英文原题

Calculate

2+2+2+\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \ldots}}}
解析

设该无限嵌套根式的值为 x>0x>0。则它满足自相似关系

x=2+x.x=\sqrt{2+x}.

两边平方得

x2=2+xx2x2=0(x2)(x+1)=0.x^2=2+x\Rightarrow x^2-x-2=0\Rightarrow (x-2)(x+1)=0.

取正根,得 x=2\boxed{x=2}


英文解析

Let the value of this infinitely nested radical be x>0x>0. Then it satisfies the self-similar relation

x=2+x.x=\sqrt{2+x}.

Squaring both sides yields

x2=2+xx2x2=0(x2)(x+1)=0.x^2=2+x\Rightarrow x^2-x-2=0\Rightarrow (x-2)(x+1)=0.

Taking the positive root, we obtain x=2\boxed{x=2}.
