The diagram shows part of the graph of y=8x13−4x13\displaystyle y = 8x^{\frac{1}{3}} - \frac{4}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}y=8x31−x314
The shaded region is enclosed by the curve, the xxx-axis and the lines x=1x = 1x=1 and x=ax = ax=a, where a>1a > 1a>1

Given that the area of the shaded area is 36 square units, find the exact value of aaa.
