Question 146

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.

[2]
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.
