According to the use of binomial expansion, the approximate value of √3 is found by applying the infinite sum √3 = 1 + (1 /2) · 2 - (1 / 8) · 2² + (1 / 16) · 2³ - (5 / 128) · 2⁴ + (7 / 256) · 2⁵ - (21 / 1024) · 2⁶ + (33 / 2048) · 2⁷ - (429 / 32768) · 2⁸ +...

An acceptable result cannot be found manually for it requires a <em>high</em> number of elements, with the help of a solver we find that the <em>approximate</em> value of √3 is 1.732.

<h3>How to approximate the value of a irrational number by binomial theorem</h3>

Binomial theorem offers a formula to find the <em>analytical</em> form of the power of a binomial of the form (a + b)ⁿ:

$(a + b)^{n} = \sum \limits_{k = 0}^{n} \left(\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\right)\cdot a^{n-k} \cdot b^{k}$ (1)

Where:

a, b - Constants of the binomial.
n - Grade of the power binomial.
k - Index of the k-th element of the power binomial.

If we know that a = 1, b = 2 and n = 1 / 2, then an approximate expression for the square root is:

√3 = 1 + (1 /2) · 2 - (1 / 8) · 2² + (1 / 16) · 2³ - (5 / 128) · 2⁴ + (7 / 256) · 2⁵ - (21 / 1024) · 2⁶ + (33 / 2048) · 2⁷ - (429 / 32768) · 2⁸ +...

The equation 3x² - 48x + 6856 represents the area of the gym and track together in terms of width.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

We have:

A rectangular building for a gym is three times as long as it is wide. Just inside the walls of the building, there is a 6ft rectangular track along the walls of the gym and has an area of 7000ft²

Let x be the width of the rectangle.

As the area of track along the walls of the gym is 7000ft²

(x - 12)(3x - 12) = 7000

After simplifying:

3x² - 48x + 6856 = 0

Thus, the equation 3x² - 48x + 6856 represents the area of the gym and track together in terms of width.
