\[\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+...}}}\]is equal to |
A) 3
B) 4
C) 6
D) 2
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Let \[x=\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+...}}}\] |
On squaring both sides, we get |
\[{{x}^{2}}=12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+...}}\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-12=x\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}-x-12=0\] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-4x+3x-12=0\] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[x\,(x-4)+3\,(x-4)=0\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[(x+3)(x-4)=0\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[x=4,\]\[-\,\,3\] |
Since, x will be positive number. |
\[\therefore \] \[x=4,\]\[x\ne 3\] |
