Unsure about infinite continued fraction

How do you/is it possible to express $a=\cfrac{1}{2+\cfrac{3}{4+\cfrac{5}{6+\cdots}}}$ in the form $\frac{p}{q}(k+\sqrt{n})$? I'm still in high school, so I'm not familiar with especially sophisticated approaches for evaluating infinitely continued fractions - I've been able to set up a recurrence relation for everything I've encountered so far, but after writing it out as $a(x)=\cfrac{x}{x+1+\cfrac{x+2}{x+3+\cdots}}$, I'm fairly sure that approach isn't going to work. I'm also not sure how to represent this in continued fraction notation, as each nested fraction has a unique numerator. It clearly converges to something, so can anyone point me in the right direction? $:)$

Answer

In view of the fact that the standard continued fraction expansion of $e$ is
$$e=2+\frac1{1+}\frac1{2+}\frac1{1+}\frac1{1+}\frac1{4+}\frac1{1+}\frac1{1+}\frac1{6+}\cdots\,,$$
I think you are mistaken in thinking that your number might even be algebraic, much less quadratic.
