Figure 1: decreasing curve from (0, 3), with region R shaded between the curve, the axes and the line x = 2
Figure 1

Figure 1 shows part of the curve \(y = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{(1 + 4x)}}\). The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis, and the lines \(x = 0\) and \(x = 2\), as shown shaded in Figure 1.

(a) Use integration to find the area of \(R\). (4)

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

(b) Use integration to find the exact value of the volume of the solid formed. (5)
