BinomialSeries
We havelearnedthe BinomialTheoremfor positiveintegerexponents:
wherethe Binomialcoefficientsare denotedby
and for
AS a simpleBinomialfunction,takea= 1 andb= x. Then
Letrbe a real numberand f(x) = (1 +x)r. Isf(x) equalto a seriesin the form of (BE) exceptthat theremay
be an infiniteseries?The answeris yes.
