Q4.

Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = x(x + 2)(x – 4).

The region R1 shown shaded in Figure 2 is bounded by the curve and the negative x-axis.

(a) Show that the exact area of R1 is

(4)
The region R2 also shown shaded in Figure 2 is bounded by the curve, the positive x-axis
and the line with equation x = b, where b is a positive constant and 0 < b < 4

Given that the area of R1 is equal to the area of R2

(b) verify that b satisfies the equation

(b + 2)2 (3b2 – 20b + 20) = 0

(4)
The roots of the equation 3b2 – 20b + 20 = 0 are 1.225 and 5.442 to 3 decimal places.
The value of b is therefore 1.225 to 3 decimal places.

(c) Explain, with the aid of a diagram, the significance of the root 5.442
