    1. Find the binomial expansion of \(( 1 + x ) ^ { - 1 }\) up to the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
    2. Hence, or otherwise, obtain the binomial expansion of \(\frac { 1 } { 1 + 3 x }\) up to the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
  1. Express \(\frac { 1 + 4 x } { ( 1 + x ) ( 1 + 3 x ) }\) in partial fractions.
    1. Find the binomial expansion of \(\frac { 1 + 4 x } { ( 1 + x ) ( 1 + 3 x ) }\) up to the term in \(x ^ { 3 }\).
    2. Find the range of values of \(x\) for which the binomial expansion of \(\frac { 1 + 4 x } { ( 1 + x ) ( 1 + 3 x ) }\) is valid.
