\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = 3 x - x ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } , \quad x \geqslant 0$$ The finite region \(S\), bounded by the \(x\)-axis and the curve, is shown shaded in Figure 3.
  1. Find $$\int \left( 3 x - x ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } \right) \mathrm { d } x$$
  2. Hence find the area of \(S\).
