Figure 4: curve C decreasing from the y-axis, the normal l at P meeting the x-axis at Q, with region S shaded between C, the axes and l
Figure 4

Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations \[x = 3\tan\theta, \quad y = 4\cos^2\theta, \qquad 0 \leqslant \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\]

The point \(P\) lies on \(C\) and has coordinates \((3, 2)\).

The line \(l\) is the normal to \(C\) at \(P\). The normal cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(Q\).

(a) Find the \(x\) coordinate of the point \(Q\). (6)

The finite region \(S\), shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(l\). This shaded region is rotated \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.

(b) Find the exact value of the volume of the solid of revolution, giving your answer in the form \(p\pi + q\pi^2\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are rational numbers to be determined.
[You may use the formula \(V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\) for the volume of a cone.] (9)
