3. $$f ( x ) = \frac { 6 } { \sqrt { ( 9 - 4 x ) } } , \quad | x | < \frac { 9 } { 4 }$$
  1. Find the binomial expansion of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in ascending powers of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\). Give each coefficient in its simplest form.
    (6) Use your answer to part (a) to find the binomial expansion in ascending powers of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\), of
  2. \(\quad \mathrm { g } ( x ) = \frac { 6 } { \sqrt { } ( 9 + 4 x ) } , \quad | x | < \frac { 9 } { 4 }\)
  3. \(\mathrm { h } ( x ) = \frac { 6 } { \sqrt { } ( 9 - 8 x ) } , \quad | x | < \frac { 9 } { 8 }\)
