The function f is defined by \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = ( \ln x ) ^ { 2 }\) for \(x > 0\). The diagram shows a sketch of the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\). The minimum point of the graph is \(A\). The point \(B\) has \(x\)-coordinate e .
- State the \(x\)-coordinate of \(A\).
- Show that \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime \prime } ( x ) = 0\) at \(B\).
- Use the substitution \(x = \mathrm { e } ^ { u }\) to show that the area of the region bounded by the \(x\)-axis, the line \(x = \mathrm { e }\), and the part of the curve between \(A\) and \(B\) is given by
$$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } u ^ { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { u } \mathrm {~d} u .$$
- Hence, or otherwise, find the exact value of this area.
