3. Consider the region bounded by the x-axis and the graphs of f(x) = 2/x + 1, x = 2, and x = 6. Imagine the solid of revolution that results from rotating this region about the x-axis. (a) Sketch a graph of the region. (b) Using the disk method, identify an expression that will represent the radius of each disk in terms of x. (c) Set up an integral that represents the volume of the solid using the disk method. [NOTE: You do not need to evaluate the integral!]
