  1. A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\).
Given that
  • \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) is a cubic expression in which the coefficient of \(x ^ { 3 }\) is equal to the coefficient of \(x\)
  • the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\) passes through the origin
  • the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\) has a stationary point at \(( 2,9 )\)
    1. find \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\),
    2. prove that the stationary point at \(( 2,9 )\) is a maximum.
