Upper limit of an area under a rational curve found by reverse chain rule integration

6 marks

The diagram below shows part of the curve \(y=\frac{x}{x^2+3}\), for \(x\geq0\).

The shaded region \(R\) lies between the curve and the \(x\)-axis, from \(x=0\) to \(x=c\), where \(c>0\). Given that \(R\) has area \(\ln2\), find the value of \(c\).[6]
