\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - x \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } , \quad x \in \mathbb { R }$$ The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis. Use calculus to show that the exact area of \(R\) can be written in the form \(p \mathrm { e } ^ { 4 } + q\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational constants to be found.
