The function f is defined by \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\) for \(x > -1\).
- Find \(f'(x)\).
- State, with a reason, whether f is an increasing function, a decreasing function or neither.
The function g is defined by \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\) for \(x < -1\).
- Find the coordinates of the stationary point on the curve \(y = g(x)\).
