8.
(a) Using the identity \(\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta\), find \(\displaystyle\int \sin^2\theta\,\mathrm{d}\theta\). (2)

Figure 4 shows part of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations \[x = \tan\theta, \qquad y = 2\sin 2\theta, \qquad 0 \leqslant \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\]
The finite shaded region \(S\) shown in Figure 4 is bounded by \(C\), the line \(x = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) and the \(x\)-axis. This shaded region is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.
(b) Show that the volume of the solid of revolution formed is given by the integral \[k\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \sin^2\theta\,\mathrm{d}\theta\] where \(k\) is a constant. (5)
(c) Hence find the exact value for this volume, giving your answer in the form \(p\pi^2 + q\pi\sqrt{3}\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants. (3)
