  1. Expand \(( 2 + x ) ^ { - 2 }\) in ascending powers of \(x\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\), and state the set of values of \(x\) for which the expansion is valid.
  2. Hence find the coefficient of \(x ^ { 3 }\) in the expansion of \(\frac { 1 + x ^ { 2 } } { ( 2 + x ) ^ { 2 } }\).
