| Topic | Areas Between Curves |
| Type | Curve-Line-Axis Bounded Region |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward area-between-curves question requiring finding intersection points by solving a quadratic equation, then integrating to find the shaded area. All techniques are standard C1/C2 material with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average. |

Figure 5 shows a sketch of part of the line $l$ with equation $y = 8 - x$ and part of the curve $C$ with equation $y = 14 + 3 x - 2 x ^ { 2 }$
The line $l$ and the curve $C$ intersect at the point $A$ and the point $B$ as shown.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Use algebra to find the coordinates of $A$ and the coordinates of $B$.
The region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 5, is bounded by the coordinate axes, the line $l$, and the curve $C$.
\item Use algebraic integration to calculate the exact area of $R$.
