Question 79

The figure shows

  • the curve CCC with equation y=2x−x2y = 2x - x^2y=2x−x2
  • the line lll with equation y=mxy = mxy=mx, where mmm is a constant and 0<m<20 < m < 20<m<2

The line and the curve intersect at the origin OOO and at the point PPP.

Coordinate diagram showing the parabola C, the line l through O and P, and hatched regions R1 and R2.

a.

Find, in terms of mmm, the coordinates of PPP.

b.

The region R1R_1R1​, shown shaded in the figure, is bounded by CCC and lll.

Show that the area of R1R_1R1​ is

(2−m)36 \frac{(2 - m)^3}{6} 6(2−m)3​
[3]
c.

The region R2R_2R2​, also shown shaded in the figure, is bounded by CCC, the xxx-axis and lll. Given that the area of R1R_1R1​ is equal to the area of R2R_2R2​,

find the exact value of mmm.
