  1. Find the first three terms in ascending powers of \(x\) of the expansion of \(( 1 + 2 x ) ^ { 5 }\).
  2. Find the first three terms in ascending powers of \(x\) of the expansion of \(( 1 - 3 x ) ^ { 4 }\).
  3. Hence find the coefficient of \(x ^ { 2 }\) in the expansion of \(( 1 + 2 x ) ^ { 5 } ( 1 - 3 x ) ^ { 4 }\).
