\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = 2 x ^ { 3 } - 17 x ^ { 2 } + 40 x$$ The curve has a minimum turning point at \(x = k\).
The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = k\). Show that the area of \(R\) is \(\frac { 256 } { 3 }\)
