Points \(P\) and \(Q\) lie on the curve. The gradient of the curve at \(P\) is 2 . The straight line \(3 x + y = 0\) meets the curve at \(Q\).
  1. Find the value of \(\theta\) at \(P\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Find the gradient of the curve at \(Q\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
