\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations $$x = \ln ( \sec \theta + \tan \theta ) - \sin \theta \quad y = \cos \theta \quad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 4 }$$ The curve \(C\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis and is used to form a solid of revolution \(S\). Using calculus, show that the total surface area of \(S\) is given by $$\frac { \pi } { 2 } ( p + q \sqrt { 2 } )$$ where \(p\) and \(q\) are integers to be determined.
