\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.5 x } - 2\) The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis. The region \(R\) is rotated \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.
Show that the volume of this solid can be written in the form \(a \ln 2 + b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants to be found.

\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with parametric equations $$x = 6 t - 3 \sin 2 t \quad y = 2 \cos t \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }$$ The curve meets the \(y\)-axis at 2 and the \(x\)-axis at \(k\), where \(k\) is a constant.
  1. State the value of \(k\).
  2. Use parametric differentiation to show that $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \lambda \operatorname { cosec } t$$ where \(\lambda\) is a constant to be found. The point \(P\) with parameter \(\mathrm { t } = \frac { \pi } { 4 }\) lies on \(C\).
    The tangent to \(C\) at the point \(P\) cuts the \(y\)-axis at the point \(N\).
  3. Find the exact \(y\) coordinate of \(N\), giving your answer in simplest form. The region bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis to form a solid of revolution.
    1. Show that the volume of this solid is given by $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \alpha } \beta ( 1 - \cos 4 t ) d t$$ where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are constants to be found.
    2. Hence, using algebraic integration, find the exact volume of this solid.
