I just would like to check my work since I can not find any tool online to do so.
I must expand 16/(2+x)^2 in ascending power of x up to x^2 and simplify.
I found 4 - 4x + 3x^2, is that correct?

Wolfram is useful for checking - see here

I don't understand, since the quadratic is the denominator how can we get those terms

Here you're expanding

Have you covered the binomial expansion with negative indices?

Ohh right. I noticed their answer was the same as the taylor series from the link but I wasn't convinced I had to do it that way when the title said binomial expansion. Thanks!

16 = (4 + 4x + x^2)(a + bx + cx^2 ....)
To get
a = 4
b = -4
c = 3
...
Without any Taylor/binomial "baggage".

In a sense you could just solve
16 = (4 + 4x + x^2)(a + bx + cx^2 ....)
To get
a = 4
b = -4
c = 3
...
