Power Series for sqrt(x+1)

[lilcoley23@ho]

How would you go about finding the power series for sqrt(x+1) by applying the square root algorithm. I can do it using binomial expansion and other formulas but I'm not familiar with the square root algorithm involving variables.

Which square root algorithm do you mean? There are several.

\int\sqrt{x+1}\rightarrow \frac{2}{3}(x+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}

It's just the usual 1/n+1x^n+1.

and nx^n-1

\frac{d}{dx} \sqrt {x+1} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2(x+1)^\frac{1}{2}}

Which you can expand to a series using the inequality:

(2x + r) r\leq a - x^2
