\end{figure} The curve \(C\) has equation \(y = x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 4\). It cuts the \(x\)-axis at the points \(L\) and \(M\) as shown in Figure 2.
  1. Find the coordinates of the point \(L\) and the point \(M\).
  2. Show that the point \(N ( 5,4 )\) lies on \(C\).
  3. Find \(\int \left( x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 4 \right) \mathrm { d } x\). The finite region \(R\) is bounded by \(L N , L M\) and the curve \(C\) as shown in Figure 2.
  4. Use your answer to part (c) to find the exact value of the area of \(R\).
