\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = ( 1 + 2 \cos 2 x ) ^ { 2 }$$
  1. Show that $$( 1 + 2 \cos 2 x ) ^ { 2 } \equiv p + q \cos 2 x + r \cos 4 x$$ where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are constants to be found. The curve touches the positive \(x\)-axis for the second time when \(x = a\), as shown in Figure 4. The regions bounded by the curve, the \(y\)-axis and the \(x\)-axis up to \(x = a\) are shown shaded in Figure 4.
  2. Find, using algebraic integration and making your method clear, the exact total area of the shaded regions. Write your answer in simplest form. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{9b0b8db0-79fd-4ad5-88c9-737447d9f894-32_2255_51_313_1980}
