\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations $$x = 4 \sin \left( t + \frac { \pi } { 6 } \right) , \quad y = 3 \cos 2 t , \quad 0 \leqslant t < 2 \pi$$
  1. Find an expression for \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) in terms of \(t\).
  2. Find the coordinates of all the points on \(C\) where \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 0\)
