7 Let \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { \cos x } { 1 + \sin x }\).
  1. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x ) < 0\) for all \(x\) in the interval \(- \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi < x < \frac { 3 } { 2 } \pi\).
  2. Find \(\int _ { \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x\). Give your answer in a simplified exact form.
