3. (a) Expand
1/(2 - 5x)2, |x| < 2/5
in ascending powers of x, up to and including the term in x2, giving each term as a simplified fraction.
Given that the binomial expansion of (2 + kx)/(2 - 5x)2, |x| < 2/5 is
1/2 + 7/4x + Ax2 + …
(b) find the value of the constant k,
(c) find the value of the constant A.

C4 Edexcel Core Mathematics January 2012 Question 4
Figure 1 shows the curve with equation
y = [2x/(3x2 + 4)], x ≥ 0
The finite region S, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the x-axis and the line x = 2.
The region S is rotated 360° about the x-axis.
Use integration to find the exact value of the volume of the solid generated, giving your answer in the form k ln a, where k and a are constants.
