7 The equation of a curve is \(y = \frac { \sin 2 x } { \cos x + 1 }\).
  1. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 2 \left( \cos ^ { 2 } x + \cos x - 1 \right) } { \cos x + 1 }\).
  2. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of each stationary point of the curve in the interval \(- \pi < x < \pi\). Give each answer correct to 3 significant figures.
