The parametric equations of a curve are

\(x = 2 \sin \theta + \sin 2\theta, \quad y = 2 \cos \theta + \cos 2\theta,\)

where \(0 < \theta < \pi\).

  1. Obtain an expression for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) in terms of \(\theta\).
  2. Hence find the exact coordinates of the point on the curve at which the tangent is parallel to the \(y\)-axis.
