The parametric equations of a curve are

\(x = 2t + \sin 2t, \quad y = 1 - 2 \cos 2t,\)

for \(-\frac{1}{2}\pi < t < \frac{1}{2}\pi\).

(i) Show that \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \tan t.\)

(ii) Hence find the \(x\)-coordinate of the point on the curve at which the gradient of the normal is 2. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
