MCQ
If $x = \sqrt {1 + \sqrt {1 + \sqrt {1 + .......\infty} } }$, then $x =$
  • $\frac{{1 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{{1 - \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{{1 \pm \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{{1 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
a
(a) $x = \sqrt {1 + \sqrt {1 + \sqrt {1 + .....\infty} } } $

We have $x = \sqrt {1 + x} $

==> ${x^2} = 1 + x\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow {x^2} - x - 1 = 0$

==> $x = \frac{{1 \pm \sqrt {1 + 4} }}{2} = \frac{{1 \pm \sqrt 5 }}{2}$

As $x > 0$, we get $x = \frac{{1 + \sqrt 5 }}{2}$
