You have to find an x such that you get 2.9998^6
how would you go about doing that?
Left hand side is (3-2x)⁶, what value of x do you need to get 2.9998⁶
i have no idea
We want to find $x$ such that $(3-2x)^6 = 2.9998^6$
Vee
so after 3-2x you should get 2.9998?
Yes, just find x
x = 0.0001?
Alright
Now for $x=0.0001$, what value does the expansion give considering the first two terms
Vee
729 and -2916(0.0001)
i used the original expansion of (3-2x)^6 than subbed in 0.0001 when i saw an x
,w 6 × 3⁵ × 2x
Okay, looks alright
nice
Now get the answer
,w 2916 × 0.0001
729 - 0.2916
What next?
