1 A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - 4 x } \left( x ^ { 2 } + 2 x - 2 \right)\).
  1. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 4 x } \left( 5 - 3 x - 2 x ^ { 2 } \right)\).
  2. Find the exact values of the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve.
