The binomial theorem allows you to express an expression of the form (y + x)^n as a power series. It is frequently put in the form of (1 + x)^n and the power series used as an approximation when x < < 1. When this is true you can make the approximation (1 + x)^n ~ 1 + nx , (the first two terms in the power series).This is very useful in analytical analysis of some problems and it is still used for that purpose. Before the rise of calculaters I used it frequently to estimate square roots and cube roots. For example, what is the square root of 84? Write sqrt(84) = sqrt(81 + 3) = 9 x sqrt(1 + 3/81) and this is approximately 9 (1 + (1/2)(3/81)) = 9 + 1/6 = 9.17 . You will see this is actually correct as rounded off to two decimals. Nowdays I just use the calculator so some of the usefullness of the binomial theorem has given way to technology.

Define binomial theorem?

The binomial theorem describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial: that is, the expansion of an expression of the form (x + y)^n where x and y are variables and n is the power to which the binomial is raised. When first encountered, n is a positive integer, but the binomial theorem can be extended to cover values of n which are fractional or negative (or both).
