A curve has equation \(y = \frac{2}{3} \ln(1 + 3 \cos^2 x)\) for \(0 \leq x \leq \frac{1}{2} \pi\).

(i) Express \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) in terms of \(\tan x\).

(ii) Hence find the \(x\)-coordinate of the point on the curve where the gradient is \(-1\). Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
