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?
