Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let $x = 2 + \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{2 + \dots \infty}}$.Since the expression is infinite,we can write $x = 2 + \frac{1}{x}$.Multiplying by $x$,we get $x^2 = 2x + 1$,which simplifies to $x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0$.Using the quadratic formula $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$,we get $x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$.$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4}}{2} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{8}}{2} = \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{2} = 1 \pm \sqrt{2}$.Since the expression $2 + \frac{1}{2 + \dots}$ must be positive and greater than $2$,we discard $1 - \sqrt{2} \approx -0.414$.Thus,the value is $1 + \sqrt{2}$.

The value of $2 + \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{2 + \dots \infty}}$ is
