Question

Let f(x)=6ln(x2+2), for xR. The graph of f passes through the point (p, 4), where p>0.

Find the value of p.

The following diagram shows part of the graph of f.

N17/5/MATME/SP2/ENG/TZ0/05.b

The region enclosed by the graph of f, the x-axis and the lines x=p and x=p is rotated 360° about the x-axis. Find the volume of the solid formed.
