\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{e4afa57d-5be3-42a6-ab35-39b0fdcc1681-3_559_732_824_388} The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) which crosses the \(x\)-axis at the origin and at the points \(A\) and \(B\). Given that $$f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 4 - 6 x - 3 x ^ { 2 }$$
  1. find an expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\),
  2. show that \(A\) has coordinates ( \(- 4,0\) ) and find the coordinates of \(B\),
  3. find the total area of the two regions bounded by the curve and the \(x\)-axis.
