Partial fractions before a local expansion

Express f(x)=3x2−3x+4(2x−1)(x2+3)f(x)=\dfrac{3x^2-3x+4}{(2x-1)(x^2+3)} in partial fractions and hence obtain f(x)f(x) as a series expansion in ascending powers of xx up to and including the term in x2x^2. marks

Find the range of values of xx for which the expansion is valid. mark
