A curve \(C\) has equation \(y = \ln x - \frac{1}{2x}\).
Sketch the graph of \(C\), stating the equation of the asymptote and the coordinates of the point where \(C\) crosses the \(x\)-axis.[2]
Find the equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point where \(x = 3\), giving your answer in the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are exact values to be determined.[3]
Find the numerical value of the area of the region bounded by \(C\), the tangent in (b)(ii) and the \(x\)-axis.[4]
