\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{8d134c65-af23-4508-acef-49b6ab49e374-3_504_910_625_614} The diagram shows the curve \(y = \frac { \ln x } { \sqrt { } x }\) and its maximum point \(M\). The curve cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(A\).
  1. State the coordinates of \(A\).
  2. Find the exact value of the \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\).
  3. Using integration by parts, show that the area of the shaded region bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 4\) is equal to \(8 \ln 2 - 4\).
