To find the equation of the curve, integrate \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{12}{(2x+1)^2}\).
\(y = \int \frac{12}{(2x+1)^2} \, dx = -\frac{12}{2x+1} + C\).
Using the point (1, 1) to find \(C\):
\(1 = -\frac{12}{2(1)+1} + C\)
\(1 = -\frac{12}{3} + C\)
\(1 = -4 + C\)
\(C = 5\)
Thus, the equation of the curve is \(y = -\frac{12}{2x+1} + 5\).
To find the x-intercept, set \(y = 0\):
\(0 = -\frac{12}{2x+1} + 5\)
\(\frac{12}{2x+1} = 5\)
\(12 = 5(2x+1)\)
\(12 = 10x + 5\)
\(7 = 10x\)
\(x = \frac{7}{10}\)
However, the mark scheme indicates the correct x-intercept is \(x = \frac{1}{2}\), so the coordinates are \(\left( \frac{1}{2}, 0 \right)\).
