The sketch shows the curve y=ax−x2y = ax - x^2y=ax−x2 and the straight line y=bxy = bxy=bx. The line intersects the curve at (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0) and (8,16)(8, 16)(8,16), and the area of the shaded region is 2563\displaystyle \frac{256}{3}3256.
Find the values of a a\,a and bbb.
Verify that the area of the shaded region is 2563\displaystyle \frac{256}{3}3256.
