mathslover (mathslover):

@vishweshshrimali5 will like to do this..

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

wait.. I have a got an idea.... let me check if i am right....

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@saadi Sorry but it will take a lot of time....... I would post the answer here.. whenerver I get it.........

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I thought it is similar to the expansion of \((1+x)^n\). But, I would have to bring it to that form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u allowed to Using calculus (Maclaurin series ) for solving this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@vishweshshrimali5 u got it already..........:)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

It is also like \(\large (1+x)^n = 1 + nx + \frac{(n)(n-1)}{2! x^2}...\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@mukushla Sorry I couldn't understand what u want to say.....

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

I am writing the general formula for \((1+x)^n\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mukushla no we cannot use calculus. it is problem from binomial series section.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so let n=-1/2 to get ur answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean expand the binomial series \((1+x)^n \) for \(n=-1/2\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

but that would give even negative terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finally we will let x=-1/2 and negative terms will change to positive

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

yes............. @mukushla \(\huge WONDERFUL\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idea is yours...:)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:) But \(\huge YOU\) used it ........ \(\huge :)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(1+x)^{-1/2}=1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n 1 \times 3 \times ... \times (2n-1)}{2^n n!} x^n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@saadi show that its true and then let x=-1/2 it will gives \(\sqrt{2}=1+2y \)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Well @mukushla Handling the case to u...... I have to leave...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its almost done....:)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ok continue ur work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mukushla is simply the best

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

He is really the \(\huge BEST\) He has helped me in many of my questions @mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh....guys...thank u so much......:)
