x =(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(...))))))))))  x^2  = 2+x   x^2 −x−2 = 0  (x−2)(x+1) = 0    { ((x=2 solution)),((x=−1 rejected )) :}
$${x}\:=\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{…}}}}} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}+{x}\: \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}−\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0}\: \\ $$$$\begin{cases}{{x}=\mathrm{2}\:{solution}}\\{{x}=−\mathrm{1}\:{rejected}\:}\end{cases} \\ $$

1+cos(π/4)=2cos^2 (π/8)  (√((1/2)(1+(1/( (√2))))))=cos(π/8)=cos(π/2^3 )=(1/2)(√(2+(√2)))  As we procceed  (√((1/2)(1+(1/2)(√(2+(√2))))))=cos(π/(16)) =cos(π/2^4 )    =(1/2)(√(2+(√(2+(√2)))))  so (1/2)(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√2)))))))))))))...n terms  =cos(π/2^(n+1) )   _(n→∞) lim cos(π/2^(n+1) )=cos(0)=1  So  (1/2)(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+))))))))))))))...∞ =1  so  (√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+))))))))))))))))....∞  =2

(√(2+(√(2+(√(2+...))))))=A⇒  (√(2+A))=A⇒A^2 =A+2⇒A^2 −A−2=0  ⇒A=((1±(√5))/2)  ⇒^(A>0)   A=((1+(√5))/2)
$$\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+…}}}=\mathrm{A}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\sqrt{\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{A}\Rightarrow\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{A}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{1}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\:\overset{\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{0}} {\Rightarrow}\:\:\mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
