The binomial approximation is useful for approximately calculating powers of sums of a small number and 1. It states that if is a real number close to 0 and is a real number, then : This approximation can be obtained by using the binomial theorem and ignoring the terms beyond the first two. By Bernoulli's inequality, the left-hand side of this relation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever and . == Derivation using linear approximation== The function : is a smooth function for ''x'' near 0. Thus, standard linear approximation tools from calculus apply: one has : and so : Thus : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Binomial approximation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
