9 A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) where $$f ( x ) = x ( 6 - x )$$ 9
  1. \(\quad\) Find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x )\)
    9
  2. The diagram below shows the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) On the same diagram sketch the gradient function for this curve, stating the coordinates of any points where the gradient function cuts the axes.
