7 For each value of \(t\), the surface \(S _ { t }\) has equation \(z = t x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 3 x y - y\).
  1. Verify that there are no stationary points on \(S _ { t }\) when \(t = \frac { 9 } { 4 }\).
  2. Determine, as \(t\) varies, the nature of any stationary point(s) of \(S _ { t }\).
    (You do not have to find the coordinates of the stationary points.) \section*{OCR} Oxford Cambridge and RSA
