Question 79

Your expansion of 1+4x3\sqrt[3]{1+4x}31+4x​ in ascending powers of x x\,x up to and including x3 x^3\,x3 is 1+43x−169x2+32081x3\displaystyle 1+\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{16}{9}x^2+\frac{320}{81}x^31+34​x−916​x2+81320​x3.

Use your expansion to find an approximation for 1.23\sqrt[3]{1.2}31.2​ to 5 decimal places.
