You should read the PF instructions on how to type mathematics.

As to your question, you mention ##\beta## in case (1), but it's not part of ##F##. (Maybe you intended a Randers metric but omitted the ##\beta## part?)

In any case, since your 2nd ##\phi(s)=1+rs## is a 1st-order expansion of ##s^r## around ##s=1##, the answer seems obvious. (Or were you thinking about something more sophisticated involving topologies on a continuum of metrics...??)
