Find the first 4 terms, in ascending powers of xxx, of the binomial expansion of
(3−4x)7 (3 - 4x)^7 (3−4x)7giving each term in simplest form.
This expansion is to be used to find an approximation for 2.9672.96^72.967. State the value of xxx that should be used. (There is no need to carry out this calculation.)
