Find the first four terms, in ascending powers of xxx, of the binomial expansion of (1+2x)12\displaystyle (1+2x)^{\frac12}(1+2x)21.
Hence find the expansion of
1+2x1−x\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{1+2x}}{1-x}1−x1+2x
up to and including the term in x3x^3x3.
State the range of values of x x\,x for which both expansions used in part (b) are valid.
In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
