Consider the graph of the cubic y = x(x - a)(x - b), where 0 < a

Question:

Consider the graph of the cubic y = x(x - a)(x - b), where 0 < a < b. Verify that the graph bounds a region above the x-axis, for 0 < x < a, and bounds a region below the x-axis, for a < x < b. What is the relationship between a and b if the areas of these two regions are equal?
