The growth rate H(s)H(s)H(s) of a synthetic crystal, where sss is the concentration of an additive, is modeled by the function:

H(s)=9s+4(1−3s)(2+s)H(s) = \frac{9s + 4}{(1 - 3s)(2 + s)}H(s)=(1−3s)(2+s)9s+4​

a.

Express H(s)H(s)H(s) in partial fractions.

[4]
b.

Hence find the binomial series expansion of H(s)H(s)H(s) in ascending powers of sss, up to and including the term in s2s^2s2. Give each coefficient as a simplified fraction.

[6]
c.

Determine the range of values of sss for which the expansion in (b)(i) is valid.
