Question 5

$$\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+}}}$$..... is equal to

Solution

Let $$\sqrt{\ 6+\sqrt{\ 6+\sqrt{\ 6+........}}} = x$$

Therefore, $$\sqrt{\ 6+x} = x$$

                      $$6+x = x^{2}$$

             $$x^{2}-x-6 = 0$$

$$x^2-3x+2x-6=0$$

$$x\left(x-3\right)+2\left(x-3\right)=0$$

          $$\left(x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)=0$$

               $$x=3,\ x=-2$$

 Hence, $$\sqrt{\ 6+\sqrt{\ 6+\sqrt{\ 6+........}}}=\ 3$$
