1.7.1 Binomial expansion

Expand $(3+2x)12\displaystyle (3+2x)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ in ascending powers of $x\,$ up to and including $x^3$

[4]

Write down the range of values of $x\,$ for which the expansion is valid.

[1]

Use your expansion, with $x = 0.1$ , to find an approximation of the value of $\sqrt{5}\,$ Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
