6. (i) Use the derivative of \(\cos x\) to prove that $$\frac { \mathrm { d } } { \mathrm {~d} x } ( \sec x ) = \sec x \tan x$$ The curve \(C\) has the equation \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } \sec x , - \frac { \pi } { 2 } < x < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\).
(ii) Find an equation for the tangent to \(C\) at the point where it crosses the \(y\)-axis.
(iii) Find, to 2 decimal places, the \(x\)-coordinate of the stationary point of \(C\).
