\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the graph of the curves \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\)
The curves intersect when \(x = 2.5\) and when \(x = 4\) A table of values for some points on the curve \(C _ { 1 }\) is shown below, with \(y\) values given to 3 decimal places as appropriate.
\(x\)2.52.7533.253.53.754
\(y\)5.4537.7649.3759.9649.3677.6265
Using the trapezium rule with all the values of \(y\) in the table,
  1. find, to 2 decimal places, an estimate for the area bounded by the curve \(C _ { 1 }\), the line with equation \(x = 2.5\), the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = 4\) The curve \(C _ { 2 }\) has equation $$y = x ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } - 3 x + 9 \quad x > 0$$
  2. Find \(\int \left( x ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } - 3 x + 9 \right) \mathrm { d } x\) The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by the curves \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\)
  3. Use the answers to part (a) and part (b) to find, to one decimal place, an estimate for the area of the region \(R\).
