the question should be like in the figure

x=  √12+x
x²=12+x
x²-x-12=0
x=3
Attachments:

rvyas: you supposed the root 12 x
profswh: no if you look in the figure the root 12 goes infinitely. so I supposed the whole thing x and then if you hide the first root 12 the left over series would be equal to x

The value of \sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+....infinite }}  is "4".

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+....infinite }}     ....(1)

Lety = \sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+....infinite }}

Now, equation (1) becomes, we get

Let y = \sqrt{12+y }}

Squaring both sides, we get

y^{2} =12+y

y^{2} -y-12=0

y^{2} -4y+3y-12=0

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

y-4 = 0 or y+3 = 0

⇒ y = 4 or y = -3 [∵ negative value is neglected]

∴ y = 4

Hence, the value of \sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+....infinite }}  is 4.
