Binomial expansion involving partial fractions

$begingroup$


Sorry I do not know how to use the formatting will try my best.



Q. Find the binomial expansion up to $x^2$ of:



$$frac{3+2x^2}{(2x+1)(x-3)^2}$$



For the partial fraction I get:



$$frac{2}{7}frac{1}{2x+1} + frac{6}{7}frac{1}{x-3} + frac{3}{(x-3)^2}$$



Then I did the following:



$$(2x+1)^{-1} = 1 - 2x + 4x^2$$



$$(x-3)^{-1}= frac{1}{3} + frac{x}{9} + frac{x^2}{27}$$



$$(x-3)^{-2} = frac{1}{3} + frac{2x}{9} + frac{x^2}{9}$$



When I add them I get completely the wrong answer:



Correct answer is
$$frac{1}{3} + frac{4x}{9} + frac{11x^2}{9}.$$

    Do you polynomial division by increasing powers?

You can mechanically obtain the expansion with a simple division by increasing powers of the numerator by the denominator. First expand the denominator:
$$(1+2x)(3-x)^2=(1+2x)(9-6x+x^2)=9+12x-11x^2+2x^3$$
We'll expand up to order $3$, dividing $3+2x^2$ by $9+12x-11x^2+2x^3$ (for an expansion up to order $2$, you may truncate the divisor at order $2$ first):



begin{alignat}{6}
& & color{red}{dfrac13 -dfrac49x}&color{red}{{}+dfrac{11}{9}x^2} & color{red}{{}-dfrac{182}{81}x^3}&+dotsm\%
9 + 12x-11x^2+ 2x^3 & enspacebiggl(enspace & 3+2x^2 \[-18mu]
& & -3 - 4x& +dfrac{11}{3}x^2 &{} -dfrac23 x^3 \
& & -4x&+ dfrac{17}3x^2&{} -dfrac{2}{3}x^3 \
&&4x&+dfrac{16}3x^2&{} -dfrac{44}{9}x^3&+dotsm\
&&&hskip30mu 11x^2&{}-dfrac{50}{9}x^3&+dotsm\
&&&hskip12mu - 11x^2&{}-dfrac{132}{9}x^3&+dotsm\
&&&&-dfrac{182}{9}x^3&+dotsm
end{alignat}

    Hint:



    How about finding $a,b,c$ in



    $$(a+bx+cx^2)(2x+1)(x-3)^2=3+2x^2$$



    by comparing the coefficients of different powers of $x$



    For example, $(-3)^2a=3$
