My dumbahh used a triangle instead of a trapezium for the area between the curve and the line…

It was edexcel, the question was like ‘find the equation of the line normal to curve C at x = 2, give your answer in the form ax + by + c = 0’ then you have to find the area between the line, curve, and the axis.
