i. The curve crosses the \(y\) axis at the point A . The straight line L is normal to the curve at A and meets the curve again at B . Find the equation of L and the \(x\) coordinate of the point B .
ii. The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(C\) and the line \(L\). Find the exact area of \(R\).
