16 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.

The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = \dfrac{x + 3}{\sqrt{x^2 + 9}}\).

Curve y = (x + 3) over root(x squared + 9): crosses the negative x-axis, rises through the positive y-axis to a maximum, then decreases slowly; the region R between the curve, the axes and the dashed line x = 4 is shaded

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

(a) Determine the area of R. Give your answer in the form \(p + \ln q\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are integers to be determined. [6]

The region R is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.

(b) Determine the volume of the solid of revolution formed. Give your answer in the form \(\pi\left(a + b\ln\left(\dfrac{c}{d}\right)\right)\) where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) and \(d\) are integers to be determined. [6]
