Eg.11 a) Expand in ascending powers of y as far as y^3
i) (1-y+3y^2)^3
ii)(1-y+3y^2-12y^3)^3
b) Using the results in a), show that if powers of x above the third are
neglected, an approximate solution of the cubic equation
yx^3+x-1=0 is x=1-x+3x^2-12x^3
c) Hence find an approximate solution of the cubic equation x^3+10x-10=0.
