\end{figure} Figure 5 shows part of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) where $$f ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 12 x + 14$$
  1. Write \(2 x ^ { 2 } - 12 x + 14\) in the form $$a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c$$ where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are constants to be found. Given that \(C\) has a minimum at the point \(P\)
  2. state the coordinates of \(P\) The line \(l\) intersects \(C\) at \(( - 1,28 )\) and at \(P\) as shown in Figure 5.
  3. Find the equation of \(l\) giving your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are constants to be found. The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 5, is bounded by the \(x\)-axis, \(l\), the \(y\)-axis, and \(C\).
  4. Use inequalities to define the region \(R\).
