\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = 10 + 8 x + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 }\).
The curve has a maximum turning point \(A\).
  1. Using calculus, show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(A\) is 2 . The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by the curve, the \(y\)-axis and the line from \(O\) to \(A\), where \(O\) is the origin.
  2. Using calculus, find the exact area of \(R\).
