3 The region \(R\) is bounded by the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis, the curve \(y = a \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { x } { a } }\) and the line \(x = a \ln 2\) (where \(a\) is a positive constant). A uniform solid of revolution, of mass \(M\), is formed by rotating \(R\) through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis. Find, in terms of \(M\) and \(a\), the moment of inertia about the \(x\)-axis of this solid of revolution.
