The curve intersects the \(x\)-axis at \(A\). The normal to the curve at \(A\) intersects the \(y\)-axis at \(B\).
  1. Obtain expressions for \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) and \(\int y \mathrm {~d} x\).
  2. Find the coordinates of \(B\).
  3. Find, showing all necessary working, the area of the shaded region.
