Correct answer: 4
- Let the infinite nested expression be
Then the given quantity is
- Use self-similarity of the infinite radical
Since the same expression repeats inside the square root, we can write
Now solve for .
- Square both sides
because
So,
- Solve the quadratic equation
Using the quadratic formula,
Thus,
Since the nested radical expression is positive, we take
- Evaluate the logarithm
We need
Now,
Hence,
Therefore,
- Final Answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
