calculus - Find limit of recursive sequence an+1=sqrt2+sqrtan.

Let an be the sequence in R given by:



a1=2,an+1=2+an.



Show that this sequence converges and find the limit.



I have already proven that this sequence is increasing and bounded by 2, so the limit exists.
Now, when I'm trying to find the limit, say L, I get that L satisfies the equation:
L22L=0,

but I don't actually know how to solve this equation, so I would like to know if there is an easier way to find the limit, and in case I must solve the last equation, how can I solve it?




Thanks in advance!
