\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{d178603a-f59a-4986-b5ab-b47eceedb2fc-10_503_853_260_641} The diagram shows part of the curve with equation \(y = k \left( x ^ { 3 } - 7 x ^ { 2 } + 12 x \right)\) for some constant \(k\). The curve intersects the line \(y = x\) at the origin \(O\) and at the point \(A ( 2,2 )\).
  1. Find the value of \(k\).
  2. Verify that the curve meets the line \(y = x\) again when \(x = 5\).
  3. Find, showing all necessary working, the area of the shaded region.
