The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = \frac{9}{(5x+4)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\) and the line \(y = 6 - 3x\). The line and the curve intersect at the point \(P\) which has y-coordinate 3.
Find the area of the shaded region.
Solution
First, find the x-coordinate of the intersection point \(P\) by setting \(6 - 3x = 3\), which gives \(x = 1\).
Next, find the area under the curve from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 1\):
