Question
Let where , .
The graph of has exactly one maximum point P.
The second derivative of is given by . The graph of has exactly one point of inflexion Q.
Show that .
Find the x-coordinate of P.
Show that the x-coordinate of Q is .
The region R is enclosed by the graph of , the x-axis, and the vertical lines through the maximum point P and the point of inflexion Q.
Given that the area of R is 3, find the value of .
