ModuleC4 (Core Mathematics 4)
TopicPartial Fractions
TypeRepeated linear factor with series expansion

7. $$f ( x ) = \frac { 25 } { ( 3 + 2 x ) ^ { 2 } ( 1 - x ) } , \quad | x | < 1$$
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) as a sum of partial fractions.
  2. Hence find \(\int f ( x ) d x\).
  3. Find the series expansion of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in ascending powers of \(x\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\). Give each coefficient as a simplified fraction. END
