\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation $$y = x \cos x , \quad x \in \mathbb { R }$$ The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve \(C\) and the \(x\)-axis for \(\frac { 3 \pi } { 2 } \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 5 \pi } { 2 }\)
  1. Complete the table below with the exact value of \(y\) corresponding to \(x = \frac { 7 \pi } { 4 }\) and with the exact value of \(y\) corresponding to \(x = \frac { 9 \pi } { 4 }\)
    \(x\)\(\frac { 3 \pi } { 2 }\)\(\frac { 7 \pi } { 4 }\)\(2 \pi\)\(\frac { 9 \pi } { 4 }\)\(\frac { 5 \pi } { 2 }\)
    \(y\)0\(2 \pi\)0
  2. Use the trapezium rule, with all five \(y\) values in the completed table, to find an approximate value for the area of \(R\), giving your answer to 4 significant figures.
  3. Find $$\int x \cos x d x$$
  4. Using your answer from part (c), find the exact area of the region \(R\).
