  1. Express \(\frac { 9 - 7 x + 8 x ^ { 2 } } { ( 3 - x ) \left( 1 + x ^ { 2 } \right) }\) in partial fractions.
  2. Hence obtain the expansion of \(\frac { 9 - 7 x + 8 x ^ { 2 } } { ( 3 - x ) \left( 1 + x ^ { 2 } \right) }\) in ascending powers of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
