Question 107

A researcher models the intensity $I\,$ of a signal as it penetrates a specific material of thickness $x\,$ cm. The model is given by

\left(1 + \frac{2}{3}x\right)^{-3} \quad \text{for } |x| < \frac{3}{2}

Find the binomial expansion of $I (x)$ in ascending powers of $x\,$ up to and including the term in $x^3$ . Simplify each coefficient fully and present them as exact fractions.
