\end{figure} Figure 6 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations $$x = 8 \sin ^ { 2 } t \quad y = 2 \sin 2 t + 3 \sin t \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 6, is bounded by \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = 4\)
  1. Show that the area of \(R\) is given by $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { a } \left( 8 - 8 \cos 4 t + 48 \sin ^ { 2 } t \cos t \right) \mathrm { d } t$$ where \(a\) is a constant to be found.
  2. Hence, using algebraic integration, find the exact area of \(R\).
