11. (a) Given $$\frac { 9 } { t ^ { 2 } ( t - 3 ) } \equiv \frac { A } { t } + \frac { B } { t ^ { 2 } } + \frac { C } { ( t - 3 ) }$$ find the value of the constants \(A , B\) and \(C\).
(b) $$I = \int _ { 4 } ^ { 12 } \frac { 9 } { t ^ { 2 } ( t - 3 ) } \mathrm { d } t$$ Find the exact value of \(I\), giving your answer in the form \(\ln ( a ) - b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants. \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations $$x = 2 \ln ( t - 3 ) , \quad y = \frac { 6 } { t } \quad t > 3$$ The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(y\)-axis, the \(x\)-axis and the line with equation \(x = 2 \ln 9\) The region \(R\) is rotated \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.
(c) Show that the exact volume of the solid generated is $$k \times I$$ where \(k\) is a constant to be found.
