Question 26

An artist is designing a stained-glass panel. The boundary of the panel is modeled by the curve CCC with equation y=6x−x2y = 6x - x^2y=6x−x2, for x≥0x \ge 0x≥0. A decorative lead strip is placed along the line lll with equation y=kxy = kxy=kx, where kkk is a constant and 0<k<60 < k < 60<k<6.

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

a.

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

b.

The region R1R_1R1​ is bounded by the curve CCC and the line lll. Show that the area of R1R_1R1​ is

(6−k)36 \frac{(6 - k)^3}{6} 6(6−k)3​
[4]
c.

The region R2R_2R2​ is bounded by the curve CCC, the xxx-axis, and the line lll, such that R1R_1R1​ and R2R_2R2​ together comprise the total area under the curve for 0≤x≤60 \le x \le 60≤x≤6. Given that the area of R1R_1R1​ is equal to the area of R2R_2R2​, find the exact value of kkk.
