y = 2x, 0  x  1 respectively. Let C3 be the graph of a
function y = f(x), 0  x  1 , f(0) = 0. For a point P
and C1, let the lines through P, parallel to the axes, meet
C2 and C3 at Q and R respectively. If for every position of
P (on C1), the areas of the shaded regions OPQ and ORP
are equal, determine the function f(x).
25. Indicate the region bounded by the curves y = x log x and y = 2x - 2x2 and obtain the area enclosed
by them.
