3. The curve with parametric equations
$$x = \cosh 2 \theta , \quad y = 4 \sinh \theta , \quad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant 1$$
is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
Show that the area of the surface generated is \(\lambda \left( \cosh ^ { 3 } \alpha - 1 \right)\), where \(\alpha = 1\) and \(\lambda\) is a constant to be found.
