Binomial Expansion

Expand $(9−2x)12\displaystyle (9-2x)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ 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 a suitable value of $x$ , to find the value of $\sqrt{8.9}\,$ correct to 5 significant figures
