\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = \frac { 5 } { x \sqrt { } ( 2 x + 1 ) } , x > 0\) The finite region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the line with equation \(x = 1\) and the line with equation \(x = 4\) This region is shown shaded in Figure 2 The region \(R\) is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
(b) Use calculus to find the exact volume of the solid of revolution generated, giving your answer in the form \(a + b \ln c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants.
