  1. Find the exact value of the \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\).
  2. Show, by means of the substitution \(x = \sin \theta\), that the area \(A\) of the shaded region between the curve and the \(x\)-axis is given by $$A = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \sin ^ { 2 } 2 \theta \mathrm {~d} \theta$$
  3. Hence obtain the exact value of \(A\).
