\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = 4 x - x \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } x } , x \geqslant 0\)
The curve meets the \(x\)-axis at the origin \(O\) and cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(A\).
  1. Find, in terms of \(\ln 2\), the \(x\) coordinate of the point \(A\).
  2. Find $$\int x \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } x } \mathrm {~d} x$$ The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the \(x\)-axis and the curve with equation $$y = 4 x - x \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } x } , x \geqslant 0$$
  3. Find, by integration, the exact value for the area of \(R\). Give your answer in terms of \(\ln 2\)
