Write the denominator as
(4+x^2)^(-1/2)
And expand both terms, then multiply to get the cubic coefficient.

in the denominator how would you get the coefficient of x^3 because for the fourth term the x value is (x^2 /4 )^3

You'd only get even powers in that expansion, so which terms would end up (multiplied by the other expansion) with a cubic?
