  1. Use the substitution \(u = 1 + x\) to show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \frac { x ^ { 3 } } { 1 + x } \mathrm {~d} x = \int _ { a } ^ { b } \left( u ^ { 2 } - 3 u + 3 - \frac { 1 } { u } \right) \mathrm { d } u$$ where \(a\) and \(b\) are to be found.
    Hence evaluate \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \frac { x ^ { 3 } } { 1 + x } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer in exact form. Fig. 8 shows the curve \(y = x ^ { 2 } \ln ( 1 + x )\). \begin{figure}[h]

  2. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\). Verify that the origin is a stationary point of the curve.
  3. Using integration by parts, and the result of part (i), find the exact area enclosed by the curve \(y = x ^ { 2 } \ln ( 1 + x )\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 1\).
