To find the stationary points, we need to find where the derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) is zero.
Using the product rule, the derivative of \(y = \cos x \sin 2x\) is:
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\sin x \sin 2x + 2\cos x \cos 2x\).
Using the double angle formula \(\cos 2x = 1 - 2\sin^2 x\), express the derivative in terms of \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\):
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\sin x \sin 2x + 2\cos x (1 - 2\sin^2 x)\).
Equate the derivative to zero:
\(-\sin x \sin 2x + 2\cos x \cos 2x = 0\).
Simplify to obtain an equation in one trigonometric function:
\(3\sin 2x = 1\) or \(3\cos 2x = 2\) or \(2\tan 2x = 1\).
Solving \(2\tan 2x = 1\) gives:
\(\tan 2x = \frac{1}{2}\).
Solving for \(x\) in the interval \(0 < x < \frac{1}{2} \pi\), we find:
\(x = 0.615\).
