A curve which passes through (0, 3) has equation \(y = f(x)\). It is given that \(f'(x) = 1 - \frac{2}{(x-1)^3}\).

(a) Find the equation of the curve.

The tangent to the curve at (0, 3) intersects the curve again at one other point, \(P\).

(b) Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) satisfies the equation \((2x + 1)(x - 1)^2 - 1 = 0\).

(c) Verify that \(x = \frac{3}{2}\) satisfies this equation and hence find the \(y\)-coordinate of \(P\).
