The graph of \( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\) of a function \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\) is shown in the diagram, passing through the \(x\)-axis at \( (-2,0), (0,0)\) and \( (2,0)\).

  1. State the number of stationary point of the graph of \(y = \mathrm{f}(x) \).[1]
  2. State the \(x\)-coordinate of the minimum point of \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\) and explain why it is the minimum point.[2]
