3 A curve has an equation which satisfies \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = k x ( 2 x - 1 )\) for all values of \(x\). The point \(P ( 2,7 )\) lies on the curve and the gradient of the curve at \(P\) is 9 .
  1. Find the value of the constant \(k\).
  2. Find the equation of the curve.
