6. (a) Find $$\int 10 x \left( x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } - 2 \right) \mathrm { d } x$$ giving each term in its simplest form. \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation $$y = 10 x \left( x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } - 2 \right) , \quad x \geqslant 0$$ The curve \(C\) starts at the origin and crosses the \(x\)-axis at the point \(( 4,0 )\). The area, shown shaded in Figure 2, consists of two finite regions and is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 9\)
(b) Use your answer from part (a) to find the total area of the shaded regions.
