To calculate an approximate value for, say 99.55, you could first rewrite it as

1005*(1-0.005)5

and then use the binomial expansion of the first three terms of (1-0.005)5 to get a pretty good approximation - accurate to 1.2 parts in a million!

You can calculate the first three terms without a computer if you know your basic times tables.

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).
