\end{figure} The straight line \(l\) with equation \(y = 5 - 3 x\) cuts the curve \(C\), with equation \(y = 20 x - 12 x ^ { 2 }\), at the points \(P\) and \(Q\), as shown in Figure 3.
  1. Use algebra to find the exact coordinates of the points \(P\) and \(Q\). The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the line \(l\), the \(x\)-axis and the curve \(C\).
  2. Use calculus to find the exact area of \(R\).
