Homework Statement Frames S and S' are moving relative to each other along the x and x' axes. They set their clocks to t = t'=0 when their origins coincide. In frame S, Event A occurs at xA = 1 yr and tA = 1 yr, while event B occurs at xB = 2 yr and tB = 0.5 yr. These events occur...

Use the binomial approximation to derive the following: A) γ=1+.5(β^2) B)1/γ=1-.5(β^2) C)1-(1/γ)=.5(^2) I know the approximation is 1+(.5β^2)+(3/8)β^4+... A) is self explanatory but not sure how to derive B) and C)
