A chemical reactor's internal pressure PPP, measured in kilopascals (kPa), increases over time ttt (minutes) according to the model
P=34t2+12,t≥0 P = \frac{3}{4}t^2 + 12, \quad t \ge 0 P=43t2+12,t≥0A monitoring system tracks the pressure until it reaches a critical threshold of 39 kPa. The finite region R R\,R in the first quadrant of the ttt-P P\,P plane is bounded by the PPP-axis, the horizontal line P=39P = 39P=39, and the curve representing the reactor's pressure.
Calculate the exact area of RRR.
