Question
Let f(x)=x2−x, for x∈R. The following diagram shows part of the graph of f.
The graph of f crosses the x-axis at the origin and at the point P(1, 0).
The line L is the normal to the graph of f at P.
The line L intersects the graph of f at another point Q, as shown in the following diagram.
Show that f′(1)=1.
Find the equation of L in the form y=ax+b.
Find the x-coordinate of Q.
Find the area of the region enclosed by the graph of f and the line L.
