Question

Find the positive value of
12+12+12+12+\sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \dots}}}}​​

A.

12

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

Correct option is D

Given:

12+12+12+12+\sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \dots}}}}​​

Solution:

12+12+12+12+\sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + \dots}}}}​ =y

y = 12+y

Squaring on both sides

y2  = 12 + y

y2 - y - 12 = 0

y2 - 4y + 3y - 12 = 0

y(y - 4) + 3(y - 4) = 0

(y - 4)(y + 3) = 0

y = 4 or y = -3
