Given:

The given value is
(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}.

To find:

The value of the given expression by using the Binomial approximation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,


(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}

It can be written as:


(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}=(1+0.0004)^{(1)/(2)}


(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}=1+(1)/(2)* 0.0004
[\because (1+x)^n=1+nx]


(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}=1+0.0002


(1.0004)^{(1)/(2)}=1.0002

Therefore, the approximate value of the given expression is 1.0002.
