TopicGeneralised Binomial Theorem and Partial Fractions

7 Let \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 5 x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 3 } { ( x - 2 ) \left( 2 x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right) }\).
  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 \(x ^ { 2 }\).
