4 A curve has parametric equations
$$x = 2 \theta - \sin 2 \theta , \quad y = 1 - \cos 2 \theta , \quad \text { for } - 3 \pi \leqslant \theta \leqslant 3 \pi$$
Show that
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \cot \theta$$
except for certain values of \(\theta\), which should be stated.
Find the value of \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } }\) when \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\).
