6 The curve with equation \(y = 2 x - 8 x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }\) has a minimum point at \(A\) and intersects the positive \(x\)-axis at \(B\).
  1. Find the coordinates of \(A\) and \(B\).

  2. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{84b3cd80-faf0-4522-8286-52bf7f86dc8a-11_522_1561_296_244} The diagram shows the curve with equation \(\mathrm { y } = 2 \mathrm { x } - 8 \mathrm { x } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }\) and the line \(A B\). It is given that the equation of \(A B\) is \(y = \frac { 2 x - 32 } { 3 }\). Find the area of the shaded region between the curve and the line.
