  2. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, the power ⁠ (+) ⁠ expands into a polynomial with terms of the form ⁠ ⁠, where the exponents ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠ are nonnegative integers satisfying ⁠ + = ⁠ and the coefficient ⁠ ⁠ of each term is a specific positive integer ...

  3. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    [1] The approximation can be proven several ways, and is closely related to the binomial theorem . By Bernoulli's inequality , the left-hand side of the approximation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever x > − 1 {\displaystyle x>-1} and α ≥ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \geq 1} .

  4. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    As there is zero X n+1 or X1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle , surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.

  5. Binomial series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_series

    Differentiating term-wise the binomial series within the disk of convergence | x | < 1 and using formula , one has that the sum of the series is an analytic function solving the ordinary differential equation (1 + x)u′(x) − αu(x) = 0 with initial condition u(0) = 1. The unique solution of this problem is the function u(x) = (1 + x) α.

  6. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The Taylor polynomials for ln(1 + x) only provide accurate approximations in the range −1 < x1. For x > 1, Taylor polynomials of higher degree provide worse approximations. The Taylor approximations for ln(1 + x) (black). For x > 1, the approximations diverge. Pictured is an accurate approximation of sin x around the point x = 0. The ...

    For example, taking the statement x + 1 = 0, if x is substituted with 1, this implies 1 + 1 = 2 = 0, which is false, which implies that if x + 1 = 0 then x cannot be 1. If x and y are integers, rationals, or real numbers, then xy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = 0. Consider abc = 0. Then, substituting a for x and bc for y, we learn a = 0 or bc = 0 ...

  9. Factor theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_theorem

    Out of these, the quadratic factor can be further factored using the quadratic formula, which gives as roots of the quadratic . Thus the three irreducible factors of the original polynomial are x + 1 , {\displaystyle x+1,} x − ( − 3 + 7 ) , {\displaystyle x-(-3+{\sqrt {7}}),} and x − ( − 3 − 7 ) . {\displaystyle x-(-3-{\sqrt {7}}).}
