Problem Statement

Let OO be the origin. y=cy = c intersects the curve y=2xāˆ’3x3y = 2x - 3x^3 at PP and QQ in the first quadrant and cuts the y-axis at RR. Find cc so that the region OPROPR bounded by the y-axis, the line y=cy = c and the curve has the same area as the region between PP and QQ under the curve and above the line y=cy = c.
