\end{figure} In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = 8 x - x ^ { \frac { 5 } { 2 } } \quad x \geqslant 0$$ The curve crosses the \(x\)-axis at the point \(A\).
  1. Verify that the \(x\) coordinate of \(A\) is 4 The line \(l _ { 1 }\) is the tangent to the curve at \(A\).
  2. Use calculus to show that an equation of line \(l _ { 1 }\) is $$12 x + y = 48$$ The line \(l _ { 2 }\) has equation \(y = 8 x\)
    The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve, the line \(l _ { 1 }\) and the line \(l _ { 2 }\)
  3. Use algebraic integration to find the exact area of \(R\).
