The diagram shows the curve with the equation y = ( x 2 − 2)2. The curve meets the y-axis
at the point A and the x-axis at the point B.
a Find the coordinates of the points A and B. (3)
b Find the area of the shaded region enclosed by the curve and the coordinate axes. (6)

10 The finite region R is bounded by the curve y = (2 − x)3 and the coordinate axes.
a State the coordinates of the point where the curve crosses the x-axis. (1)
b Use the trapezium rule with four intervals to estimate the area of R. (5)
c Expand (2 − x)3 in ascending powers of x. (2)
d Hence, using integration, find the percentage error in the estimate for the area of R
found in part b. (6)
