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:
L2−2−√L=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!
