The diagram shows the curve $$\(y=2+\mathrm{e}^{-2 x}\)$$. The curve crosses the $$\(y\)$$-axis at the point $$\(A\)$$, and the point $$\(B\)$$ on the curve has $$\(x\)$$-coordinate 1 . The shaded region is bounded by the curve and the line segment $$\(A B\)$$. Find the exact area of the shaded region. ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

Integrate to obtain form \(a x+b \mathrm{e}^{-2 x}\)
Obtain correct \(2 x-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{e}^{-2 x}\)
Apply limits to obtain \(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{e}^{-2}\)
Attempt to find area of relevant trapezium
Obtain \(\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{e}^{-2}\) and subtract to obtain \(\mathrm{e}^{-2}\) or exact equivalent
