The main formulas used in Balancer protocol make use of a form of exponentiation where both the base and exponent are fixed-point (non-integer) values. Take for example the swap
functions, where the weights in both the exponent and the base are fractions:
Since solidity does not have fixed point algebra or more complex functions like fractional power we use the following binomial approximation:
