Using Calculus, We Can Show That This
Formula Can Be Used to Evaluate Binomial Expressions Raised

Multiple Choice

Using calculus, we can show that $$( 1 + x ) ^ { n } = 1 + n x + \frac { n ( n - 1 ) } { 2 ! } x ^ { 2 } + \frac { n ( n - 1 ) ( n - 2 ) } { 3 ! } x ^ { 3 } + \ldots , \text { for } | x | < 1$$ This
formula can be used to evaluate binomial expressions raised to noninteger exponents. Use the first four
terms of this infinite series to approximate the given expression. Round to 3 decimal places if necessary.
