Figure 1: the curve y = xe^x with the region R between the curve, the x-axis and the lines x = 1 and x = 3 shaded
Figure 1

Figure 1 shows the finite shaded region, \(R\), which is bounded by the curve \(y = x\mathrm{e}^x\), the line \(x = 1\), the line \(x = 3\) and the \(x\)-axis.

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

Use integration by parts to find an exact value for the volume of the solid generated. (8)
