  1. Find the binomial expansion of \(( 1 + 6 x ) ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 3 } }\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\).
    1. Find the binomial expansion of \(( 27 + 6 x ) ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 3 } }\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\), simplifying the coefficients.
    2. Given that \(\sqrt [ 3 ] { \frac { 2 } { 7 } } = \frac { 2 } { \sqrt [ 3 ] { 28 } }\), use your binomial expansion from part (b)(i) to obtain an approximation to \(\sqrt [ 3 ] { \frac { 2 } { 7 } }\), giving your answer to six decimal places.
