Question : 10
Total: 36
Using Binomial Theorem, indicate which number is larger (1.1)10000 or 1000.
Solution:  
Splitting 1.1 and using binomial theorem to write the first few terms we have (1.1)10000 = (1+0.1)10000
=
10000
C0
+
10000
C1(0.1)
+
10000
C2(0.1)2
+ ... +
10000
C10000(0.1)10000

= 1 + 10000 ×

10
+ some positive terms
= 1 + 1000 + some positive terms > 1000.
Hence, (1.1)10000 is larger than 1000.
