The first five terms of the binomial theorem to approximate (-1.4)⁸ answer would be 14.056.
What is the Binomial Theorem?
The binomial theorem states the principle for expanding the algebraic expression (x + y)ⁿ and describes it as the total of the phrases involving the unique exponents of the x and y variables. Each word in a binomial expansion has a coefficient, which is a numerical value.
According to the binomial theorem, it is possible to expand any non-negative power of binomial (x + y) into a sum of the form,
(x+y)ⁿ = ⁿC₀xⁿy₀ + nC₁ xⁿ⁻¹y₁ + nC₂ xⁿ⁻² y2 + ... + nC x¹yⁿ⁻¹ + nCn x°yⁿ
where n ≥ 0 is an integer and each ⁿCₓ is a positive integer known as a binomial coefficient.
Given expression as (- 1.4)⁸
as a result, if you have raised a negative integer to an even power, the response will be positive.
Eliminating the negative sign.
⇒ (1.4)⁸ = (1+0.4)⁸
⇒ 1⁸+8*1⁷*0.4+28*1⁶*0.4²+56*1⁵*0.4³+70*1⁴*0.4⁴
⇒ 1+3.2+4.48+3.584+1.792
⇒ 14.056
If we used one more term we would get 14.62944
