\end{figure} The curve \(C\) has equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x ) , x \in \mathbb { R }\). Figure 1 shows the part of \(C\) for which \(0 \leq x \leq 2\). Given that $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 2 x ^ { 2 } ,$$ and that \(C\) has a single maximum, at \(x = k\),
  1. show that \(1.48 < k < 1.49\). Given also that the point \(( 0,5 )\) lies on \(C\),
  2. find \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\). The finite region \(R\) is bounded by \(C\), the coordinate axes and the line \(x = 2\).
  3. Use integration to find the exact area of \(R\).
