Fig. 8 shows the line \(y = x\) and parts of the curves \(y = f(x)\) and \(y = g(x)\), where
$$f(x) = e^{x-1}, \quad g(x) = 1 + \ln x.$$
The curves intersect the axes at the points A and B, as shown. The curves and the line \(y = x\) meet at the point C.

- Find the exact coordinates of A and B. Verify that the coordinates of C are \((1, 1)\). [5]
- Prove algebraically that \(g(x)\) is the inverse of \(f(x)\). [2]
- Evaluate \(\int_0^1 f(x) \, dx\), giving your answer in terms of \(e\). [3]
- Use integration by parts to find \(\int \ln x \, dx\).
Hence show that \(\int_{e^{-1}}^1 g(x) \, dx = \frac{1}{e}\). [6]
- Find the area of the region enclosed by the lines OA and OB, and the arcs AC and BC. [2]
