\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.)
