\includegraphics[alt={},max width=\textwidth]{59c9f675-e7eb-47b9-b233-dfbe1844f792-30_639_929_214_511} \captionsetup{labelformat=empty} \caption{Figure 2}
\end{figure} Figure 2 shows
  • the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = x - x ^ { 2 }\)
  • the line \(l\) with equation \(y = m x\), where \(m\) is a constant and \(0 < m < 1\)
The line and the curve intersect at the origin \(O\) and at the point \(P\).
  1. Find, in terms of \(m\), the coordinates of \(P\). The region \(R _ { 1 }\), shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by \(C\) and \(l\).
  2. Show that the area of \(R _ { 1 }\) is $$\frac { ( 1 - m ) ^ { 3 } } { 6 }$$ The region \(R _ { 2 }\), also shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and \(l\). Given that the area of \(R _ { 1 }\) is equal to the area of \(R _ { 2 }\)
  3. find the exact value of \(m\). \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{59c9f675-e7eb-47b9-b233-dfbe1844f792-33_108_76_2613_1875} \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{59c9f675-e7eb-47b9-b233-dfbe1844f792-33_52_83_2722_1850}

2.(a)On the same diagram,sketch \(y = x\) and \(y = \sqrt { } x\) ,for \(x \geq 0\) ,and mark clearly the coordinates of the points of intersection of the two graphs.
(b)With reference to your sketch,explain why there exists a value \(a\) of \(x ( a > 1 )\) such that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { a } x \mathrm {~d} x = \int _ { 0 } ^ { a } \sqrt { } x \mathrm {~d} x$$ (c)Find the exact value of \(a\) .
(d)Hence,or otherwise,find a non-constant function \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) and a constant \(b ( b \neq 0 )\) such that $$\int _ { - b } ^ { b } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x = \int _ { - b } ^ { b } \sqrt { } [ \mathrm { f } ( x ) ] \mathrm { d } x$$

\includegraphics{figure_7} Figure 7 shows the curves with equations $$y = kx^2 \quad x \geq 0$$ $$y = \sqrt{kx} \quad x \geq 0$$ where \(k\) is a positive constant. The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 7, is bounded by the two curves. Show that, for all values of \(k\), the area of \(R\) is \(\frac{1}{3}\) [5]
