The function f is defined by

f(x)=kx(x+k)2,x≠−k

Find, in terms of k, expressions for A and B such that

f(x)=Ax+k+B(x+k)2

This is a bit like Exercise 3 where you have a repeated root. You will need to let x=−k to find B and then compare the coefficient of x to find A. Just treat k as if it were any fixed number.
