A2 June 2025 Paper 1 Q16
16 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = \dfrac{x + 3}{\sqrt{x^2 + 9}}\).

The region R, shown shaded in the diagram, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis, and the line \(x = 4\).
The region R is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
