    1. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point \(P\), giving your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\).
    2. Hence find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(Q\).
    1. Find \(\int _ { - 2 } ^ { 1 } \left( 4 - x ^ { 2 } - 3 x ^ { 3 } \right) \mathrm { d } x\).
    2. The point \(R ( 1,0 )\) lies on the curve. Calculate the area of the shaded region bounded by the curve and the lines \(P Q\) and \(Q R\).
