Question 301
(*****)
A cubic curve C has equation
y = ax 3 + bx ,
x∈» ,
where a and b are non zero constants with a > 0 .
The curve C ′ is the reflection of C about the straight line with equation y = x .
The straight line with equation y = − x is a tangent to both C and C ′ at the origin O .
Given that the finite region bounded by C and C ′ has area 9 , find the value of a .
