  1. In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} Figure 3 shows
  • the curve \(C _ { 1 }\) with equation \(y = x ^ { 3 } - 5 x ^ { 2 } + 3 x + 14\)
  • the circle \(C _ { 2 }\) with centre \(T\)
The point \(T\) is the minimum turning point of \(C _ { 1 }\)
Using Figure 3 and calculus,
  1. find the coordinates of \(T\) The curve \(C _ { 1 }\) intersects the circle \(C _ { 2 }\) at the point \(A\) with \(x\) coordinate 2
  2. Find an equation of the circle \(C _ { 2 }\) The line \(l\) shown in Figure 3, is the tangent to circle \(C _ { 2 }\) at \(A\)
  3. Show that an equation of \(l\) is $$y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \frac { 22 } { 3 }$$ The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by \(C _ { 1 } , l\) and the \(y\)-axis.
  4. Find the exact area of \(R\).
