34 14. A curve C has equation y = f(x) where f(x) = –3x 2 + 12x + 8 (a) Write f(x) in the form a(x + b) 2 + c where a, b and c are constants to be found. (3) The curve C has a maximum turning point at M. (b) Find the coordinates of M. (2) R l O x y M C Figure 3 Figure 3 shows a sketch of the curve C. The line l passes through M and is parallel to the x-axis. The region R, shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by C, l and the y-axis. (c) Using algebraic integration, find the area of R.
