The point \(P\) on the curve has parameter \(p\) and \(y\)-coordinate 3 .

1. Show that \(p = \frac { 1 } { 2 \sin 2 p }\).
2. Show by calculation that the value of \(p\) lies between 0.5 and 0.6 .
3. Use an iterative formula, based on the equation in part (a), to find the value of \(p\) correct to 3 significant figures. Use an initial value of 0.55 and give the result of each iteration to 5 significant figures.
4. Find the gradient of the curve at \(P\).
