(a)
Find the rational numbers aa, bb and cc such that the first three terms, in descending powers of xx, in the expansion of (3x212x)5\left(3x^{2} - \dfrac{1}{2x}\right)^{5} can be written as ax10+bx7+cx4ax^{10} + bx^{7} + cx^{4}.

(b)
Hence find the coefficient of x4x^{4} in the expansion of (3x212x)5(1+1x3)2\left(3x^{2} - \dfrac{1}{2x}\right)^{5}\left(1 + \dfrac{1}{x^{3}}\right)^{2}.
