To solve the problem of finding the value of the infinite nested square root ( \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \dots}}} ):
Step 1: Define the variable
Let ( x = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + \dots}}} ). Since the nested sequence is infinite, the part inside the first square root is the same as ( x ) itself.
Step 2: Square both sides
Squaring both sides of the equation gives:
( x^2 = 2 + x )
Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation
Rearrange into standard quadratic form:
( x^2 - x - 2 = 0 )
Factor the equation:
( (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0 )
Step 4: Select the positive solution
Since ( x ) is a square root (non-negative), we discard the negative root ( x = -1 ). Thus:
( x = 2 )
Answer: (\boxed{2})
