A curve \(C\) has parametric equations

\(x = 3t^2 + 2t, \quad y = t^2 + 2t^3 \quad \text{for}\hspace{0.5em} t \geqslant 0.\)

  1. Show that \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = kt\), where \(k\) is a constant to be found.[2]
  2. The tangent to \(C\) at a point \(P\) makes an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the \(x\)-axis. Find the exact coordinates of \(P\).[3]

The point \(Q\) with coordinates \((16, 20)\) lies on \(C\).

  1. Using calculus, find the exact area of the region bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the line parallel to the \(y\)-axis through \(Q\).
