Integration — practice question

The diagram displays the curve $y = e^{2\sin x}\cos x$ for $0 \leq x \leq \frac{1}{2}\pi$, together with its highest point $M$.
(a(i))[5]

Using the substitution $u = \sin x$, determine the exact area of the shaded region enclosed by the curve and the axes.

(a(ii))[6]

Determine the $x$-coordinate of $M$, with your answer correct to $3$ decimal places.
