  1. Find the first three non-zero terms of the binomial series expansion of \(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 1 + 4 x ^ { 2 } } }\), and state the set of values of \(x\) for which the expansion is valid.
  2. Hence find the first three non-zero terms of the series expansion of \(\frac { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } { \sqrt { 1 + 4 x ^ { 2 } } }\).
