3. (a) Find the first 4 terms, in ascending powers of \(x\), of the binomial expansion of \(( 1 + a x ) ^ { 10 }\), where \(a\) is a non-zero constant. Give each term in its simplest form.
Given that, in this expansion, the coefficient of \(x ^ { 3 }\) is double the coefficient of \(x ^ { 2 }\),
(b) find the value of \(a\).
