Figure 1: the curve y = 3 sin(x/2) from O to 2π with the region between the curve and the x-axis shaded
Figure 1

The curve with equation \(y = 3\sin\dfrac{x}{2}\), \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2\pi\), is shown in Figure 1. The finite region enclosed by the curve and the \(x\)-axis is shaded.

(a) Find, by integration, the area of the shaded region. (3)

This region is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.

(b) Find the volume of the solid generated. (6)
