  1. Find the value of \(t\) at the point \(P\). The line \(l\) is a normal to \(C\) at \(P\).
  2. Show that an equation for \(l\) is \(y = - x \sqrt { 3 } + 6 \sqrt { 3 }\). The finite region \(R\) is enclosed by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 4\), as shown shaded in Figure 3.
  3. Show that the area of \(R\) is given by the integral \(\int _ { \frac { \pi } { 3 } } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 2 } } 64 \sin ^ { 2 } t \cos t \mathrm {~d} t\).
  4. Use this integral to find the area of \(R\), giving your answer in the form \(a + b \sqrt { } 3\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants to be determined.

  1. Complete the table above, giving the missing value of \(y\) to 4 decimal places.
  2. Use the trapezium rule with all the values of \(y\) in the completed table to obtain an estimate for the area of \(R\), giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
  3. Use integration to find the exact value for the area of \(R\).

6. (i) Given that \(y > 0\), find $$\int \frac { 3 y - 4 } { y ( 3 y + 2 ) } d y$$ (ii) (a) Use the substitution \(x = 4 \sin ^ { 2 } \theta\) to show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 3 } \sqrt { \left( \frac { x } { 4 - x } \right) } \mathrm { d } x = \lambda \int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 3 } } \sin ^ { 2 } \theta \mathrm {~d} \theta$$ where \(\lambda\) is a constant to be determined.
(b) Hence use integration to find $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 3 } \sqrt { \left( \frac { x } { 4 - x } \right) } d x$$ giving your answer in the form \(a \pi + b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are exact constants.
