14 The region bounded by the curve

\[y = (2x - 8)\ln x\]

and the \(x\)-axis is shaded in the diagram below.

Curve y = (2x − 8) ln x crossing the x-axis at 1 and 4; the region between the curve and the x-axis from 1 to 4, below the x-axis, is shaded
(a) Use the trapezium rule with 5 ordinates to find an estimate for the area of the shaded region.

Give your answer correct to three significant figures. [3 marks]

(b) Show that the exact area is given by\[32\ln 2 - \frac{33}{2}\]

Fully justify your answer. [6 marks]
