Expansion of trignometric function around infinity

I need to expand $cos[sqrt{x^2+a^2+b x}]$ around $x=infty$ and want to keep terms only upto $x^{-3}$. Here $a$ and $b$ are constant. Should I first expand the function $sqrt{(x^2+a^2+b x)}$ and then write the usual cosine series? Is this the right way to approach this question? If not then what should be the right approach. Thanks

  • Why do you think that such an expansion exists?

  • What does $theta$ has to do with $x$? You can just use $2picostheta$ as a constant, say $c$.

  • @Andrei: True, you can do that. $theta$ is a constant.

  • @gammatester: I don't really know if it exist. Can you show that it doesn't exist?
