\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = x \ln x , x > 0\)
The line \(l\) is the normal to \(C\) at the point \(P ( \mathrm { e } , \mathrm { e } )\)
The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the line \(l\) and the \(x\)-axis.
Show that the exact area of \(R\) is \(A e ^ { 2 } + B\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are rational numbers to be found.
