9 The equation of a curve is \(y = 3 x + 1 - 4 ( 3 x + 1 ) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }\) for \(x > - \frac { 1 } { 3 }\).
  1. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } }\).
  2. Find the coordinates of the stationary point of the curve and determine its nature.
