  1. Given that \(x = ( 4 t + 9 ) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }\) and \(y = 6 \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + 1 }\), find expressions for \(\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\).
  2. Hence find the value of \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t }\) when \(t = 4\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
