The maximum point on the curve is denoted by \(P\).
  1. Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) satisfies the equation \(\tan 2 x + 2 x = 0\).
  2. Use the Newton-Raphson method, with a suitable initial value, to find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\), giving your answer correct to 4 decimal places. Show the result of each iteration.
  3. The trapezium rule, with four strips of equal width, is used to find an approximation to \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } 3 x \sin 2 x \mathrm {~d} x\). Show that the result can be expressed as \(k \pi ^ { 2 } ( \sqrt { 2 } + 1 )\), where \(k\) is a rational number to be determined.
    1. Evaluate \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } 3 x \sin 2 x \mathrm {~d} x\).
    2. Hence determine whether using the trapezium rule with four strips of equal width gives an under- or over-estimate for the area of the region enclosed by the curve \(y = 3 x \sin 2 x\) and the \(x\)-axis for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).
    3. Explain briefly why it is not easy to tell from the diagram alone whether the trapezium rule with four strips of equal width gives an under- or over-estimate for the area of the region in this case.
