3 Fig. 8 shows part of the curve \(y = x \sin 3 x\). It crosses the \(x\)-axis at P . The point on the curve with \(x\)-coordinate \(\frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\) is Q . \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure}
  1. Find the \(x\)-coordinate of P .
  2. Show that Q lies on the line \(y = x\).
  3. Differentiate \(x \sin 3 x\). Hence prove that the line \(y = x\) touches the curve at Q .
  4. Show that the area of the region bounded by the curve and the line \(y = x\) is \(\frac { 1 } { 72 } \left( \pi ^ { 2 } - 8 \right)\).
  5. Differentiate \(x \cos 2 x\) with respect to \(x\).
  6. Integrate \(x \cos 2 x\) with respect to \(x\).
