In the triangle \(ABC\), angle \(BAC=\frac{\pi }{4}\) radians and angle \(ABC=\left( \frac{\pi }{4}+2x \right)\) radians. Show that \(\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\cos 2x}{\cos 2x+\sin 2x}\).[3]

Given that \(x\) is sufficiently small for which \({{x}^{3}}\) and higher powers of \(x\) can be ignored, find the series expansion of \(\frac{AB}{AC}\) in ascending powers of \(x\).[4]
