TopicGeneralised Binomial Theorem and Partial Fractions

10 Let \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 10 x - 2 x ^ { 2 } } { ( x + 3 ) ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } }\).
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in partial fractions.
  2. Hence obtain the expansion of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in ascending powers of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\).
