3 The first three terms in the expansion of (1 2x)^2(1 + ax)^6, in ascending powers of x, are 1 x + bx^2.

Find the values of the constants a and b. [6]

I don't know how to multiply after expansion !! please can anyone help ?

parti r= 1/(1/3tan x) hence r=3/tan(x)^2 it must be r must be less then 1 to be convergent hence
3/tan(x)^2 <1 hence tanx < under root 3 hence x< tan^-1 (under root of 3 ))
am i rite?

g(x) = 8 − (x 2)^2, for k x 4, where k is a constant.
(iii) find an expression for g1(x),

how to find g inverse? Cuz I have no idea y they don't take plus or minus when they square root ! they only take plus , can someone explain me ? please

alright man first of all you have to expand (1+ax)^6 using the binomial theorem ( i guess u have learnt that as it is part of ur syllabus) but not all of it like expand it up to the term x^3 onlyyy then expand (1-2x)^2 and multiply it with the answer u got when u did the binomial theorem..once u get an answer tell me..ok ? if u dont know how to use the binomial theorem then tell me also
