  1. Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\) is \(\ln 2\).
  2. The region shaded in the diagram is enclosed by the curve and the lines \(x = 0 , x = \ln 2\) and \(y = 0\). Use integration to show that the area of the shaded region is \(\frac { 5 } { 2 }\).

  1. Find the exact \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\).
  2. Show that the equation of the curve can be written $$y = 5 + 8 \sin x - 2 \cos 2 x$$ and use integration to find the exact area of the shaded region enclosed by the curve and the axes.
