The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \ln ( x - 4 )\).
  1. Use integration by parts to show that \(\int \ln ( x - 4 ) \mathrm { d } x = ( x - 4 ) \ln | x - 4 | - x + c\).
  2. State the equation of the vertical asymptote to the curve \(y = \ln ( x - 4 )\).
  3. Find the total area enclosed by the curve \(y = \ln ( x - 4 )\), the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 4.5\) and \(x = 7\). Give your answer in the form \(a \ln 3 + b \ln 2 + c\) where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants to be found.

\includegraphics{figure_4} Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = 2e^{2x} - xe^{2x}, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}$$ The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis. Use calculus to show that the exact area of \(R\) can be written in the form \(pe^t + q\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational constants to be found. (Solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.) [5]
