Q3.
Figure 4
Figure 4 shows a sketch of the curve C with equation
The point P with coordinates (4, 15) lies on C.
The line l is the tangent to C at the point P.
The region R, shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve C, the line l and the y-axis.
Show that the area of R is 24, making your method clear.
(Solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.)

Q4.
Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = x(x + 2)(x – 4).
The region R1 shown shaded in Figure 2 is bounded by the curve and the negative x-axis.
(a) Show that the exact area of R1 is
(4)
The region R2 also shown shaded in Figure 2 is bounded by the curve, the positive x-axis
and the line with equation x = b, where b is a positive constant and 0 < b < 4
Given that the area of R1 is equal to the area of R2
(b) verify that b satisfies the equation
(b + 2)2 (3b2 – 20b + 20) = 0
(4)
The roots of the equation 3b2 – 20b + 20 = 0 are 1.225 and 5.442 to 3 decimal places.
The value of b is therefore 1.225 to 3 decimal places.
(c) Explain, with the aid of a diagram, the significance of the root 5.442
