Find the potential at off-axis points due to a thin circular ring of radius a and mass

Question:

Find the potential at off-axis points due to a thin circular ring of radius a and mass M. Let R be the distance from the center of the ring to the field point, and let θ be the angle between the line connecting the center of the ring with the field point and the axis of the ring. Assume R >> a so that terms of order (a/R) 3 and higher may be neglected.
