(a) Show that 4x=A(1xB)2\displaystyle \sqrt{4-x} = A\left(1 - \frac{x}{B}\right)^2 where A\displaystyle A and B\displaystyle B are integers to be found.
(2)
(b) Hence expand 4x\displaystyle \sqrt{4-x} in ascending powers of x\displaystyle x up to and including the term in x3\displaystyle x^3
Give each coefficient as an exact fraction in its lowest terms.
(3)
(c) Use your expansion with a suitable value of x\displaystyle x to obtain an estimate of 30510\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{305}}{10}
Give your answer correct to 5 decimal places.
