| Topic | Differentiating Transcendental Functions |
| Type | Find stationary points - trigonometric functions |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part calculus question requiring standard techniques: differentiating a sum involving a square root (chain rule), integrating using reverse chain rule, finding a stationary point by setting dy/dx = 0, and computing a definite integral for area. All steps are routine A-level procedures with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average. |

The diagram shows part of the curve $y = 3\sqrt{(4x + 1)} - 2x$. The curve crosses the $y$-axis at $A$ and the stationary point on the curve is $M$.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Obtain expressions for $\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}$ and $\int y \text{d}x$. [5]
\item Find the coordinates of $M$. [3]
\item Find, showing all necessary working, the area of the shaded region. [4]
