4.

(a) Express \(\dfrac{25}{x^2(2x + 1)}\) in partial fractions. (4)
Figure 2: decreasing curve C for x > 0, with region R shaded between C, the x-axis and the lines x = 1 and x = 4
Figure 2

Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = \dfrac{5}{x\sqrt{(2x + 1)}},\ x > 0\)

The finite region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the line with equation \(x = 1\) and the line with equation \(x = 4\)

This region is shown shaded in Figure 2

The region \(R\) is rotated through 360° about the \(x\)-axis.

(b) Use calculus to find the exact volume of the solid of revolution generated, giving your answer in the form \(a + b\ln c\), where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are constants. (6)
