Question 40
a.

Find, in ascending powers of xxx, the first three non-zero terms of the binomial series expansion of

1+3x23∣x∣<13 \sqrt[3]{1 + 3x^2} \quad \quad |x| < \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} 31+3x2​∣x∣<3​1​

giving each coefficient as a simplified fraction.

b.

Use the expansion from part (a) with x=12x = \frac{1}{2}x=21​ to find a rational approximation to k⋅73k \cdot \sqrt[3]{7}k⋅37​, where kkk is a constant you must determine.
